Mashamaite joins Swedish club Posted: 5 August 2015 Time: 04:43 pm

Swedish club BK Hacken have confirmed the signing of former Kaizer Chiefs defender Tefu Mashamaite on a two-and-half-year deal.

Hacken, who are currently ninth on the 16-team Allsvenskan table after 18 games, announced the signing on their official website.



“We are very proud that a player of his quality chose us. We have followed Tefu for a while and when the opportunity came up, there was no hesitation to sign him,” said sporting director Sonny Karlsson.



“He is a left-footed player with a great understanding of the game, he is strong in the air and has been team captain, which is also an important piece of the puzzle.”



The 30-year-old parted ways with Kaizer Chiefs following the expiry of his contract at the end of June and has been on a club search since, including a trip to the US where he trained with New York City.



Mashamaite started 40 games for Amakhosi last season and was named the PSL and KICK OFF Footballer of the Season.
