A former footballer himself, Motaung Jr lavished praise on the South African junior international’s technical abilities.

“We are very excited and happy to have Luke join us,” Kaizer Jr. told the club’s media team.

“The young man has great technical abilities and I think he will fit really well into how we want to approach the game and the kind of football we would like to play going forward.

“Of course, being a youth international and having experienced the Olympics, as well as having many PSL games under his belt, we believe his attributes will benefit the team.”

While Fleurs previously worked with ex-Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki at junior national teams, he seemingly impressed the club’s hierarchy despite Ntseki’s axing this week.

Meanwhile, he will look to forge his way into the first team as the club announced Cavin Johnson will lead the side on an interim basis.
