NEW KAIZER CHIEFS SIGNING PHILI TO WEAR JERSEY NO.70?

Now, Phili was seen at the Village wearing the No.70 jersey, and perhaps this could be the one allocated to him as a new signing.

He wore the No.11 jersey at Stellies, but it is taken by Luke Baartman at Chiefs, and he had to opt for a different jersey number.
