Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Thabo Cele has vowed to secure a win in the team’s final Betway Premiership fixture to ensure a top-eight finish this season.

Amakhosi will conclude the season at home against Polokwane City at FNB Stadium on Saturday. They are ninth in the league, and their opponents are one place above them.

"This match against Polokwane City is crucial because it puts us in a position to be able to compete for everything, and that is the purpose of Kaizer Chiefs. This club must try to win everything. It hasn't been an easy season, but our objective remains to try and win everything,” said Cele, as quoted by SABC Sports.

"Being part of this brand deal means a lot to me because it's something different, and it really resonates with who I am. I share a lot of attributes with this brand, like mental toughness, hunger, and positivity.”

He admitted: “It hasn't been an easy journey for us, but winning the Nedbank Cup has strengthened our belief as we prepare for more challenges.”

Amakhosi sit ninth in the league with 31 points after drawing with Sekhukhune in Polokwane on Saturday. Rise & Shine occupy seventh place, on 33 points, following their 2-0 loss at home to Cape Town City. Both teams have played 27 league matches.

Chiefs will welcome the return of defenders Inacio Miguel and Bradley Cross from suspension, but will miss the services of Pule Mmodi, who received a red card in the previous match.
