Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach John Painstil has returned to his former club Fulham as the guardian of three youngsters from the South African club. Chiefs youngsters Lorenzo Gordinho, Ryan Moon, Siyabonga Ngezana and Emmanuel Letlotlo jetted off to England on Monday in the company of Painstil.
The four players will have an opportunity to train in the state of the art facilities at Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham FC.
Painstil, 35, spent three years of his career between 2008-2011 at Fulham.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and play in the Championship, the second tier of English football.
They are the oldest-established football team from London to have played in the Premiership.
The youngsters will return back home on 12 January to rejoin their teammates as they prepare for the resumption of the PSL season in February.
Gordinho, a product of Amakhosi’s development structures, is a regular in the first team.
Moon and Letlotlo have made cameo appearances in the first team, while Ngezana has made the first team’s substitute bench and is playing this season a starring role in Chiefs’ MultiChoice Diski Challenge (MDC) side.
