The players that Chiefs announced are Thathayoane Ditlhokwe, Given Msimango, Mduduzi Mdantsane, Edson Castillo, Pule Mmodi, Ranga Chivaviro and Tebogo Potsane.

Ditlhokwe was the first of the players to be announced, as soon as he signed a pre-contract with Chiefs during the January transfer window, leaving his former coach at SuperSport United Gavin Hunt, extremely hurt.
