Fiacre Ntwari Set for Kruger United Switch After Difficult Kaizer Chiefs Spell

Rwanda international goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari is set to continue his career with newly promoted Betway Premiership side Kruger United after falling down the pecking order at Kaizer Chiefs.

The 26-year-old is expected to complete a move to the league newcomers following a frustrating debut campaign at Naturena, where he struggled for regular first-team opportunities. Reports indicate the transfer will initially be on loan as Chiefs look to give the shot-stopper valuable game time.

Ntwari joined Amakhosi from TS Galaxy with high expectations but found it difficult to establish himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. Injuries, competition for places, and changes within the squad limited his appearances during the season.

Chiefs have since strengthened their goalkeeping department, with the arrival of Renaldo Leaner further reducing Ntwari’s chances of featuring regularly. The club is believed to view a temporary move as the best solution for both the player and the team.

Kruger United, who secured promotion to South Africa’s top flight, are eager to reinforce their squad ahead of their debut Betway Premiership campaign. The addition of an experienced international goalkeeper is expected to bolster their defensive options as they prepare for the challenges of top-flight football.

For Ntwari, the move offers an opportunity to revive his career with consistent playing time while remaining in the Premier Soccer League. Strong performances at Kruger United could also boost his prospects with the Rwanda national team and potentially pave the way for a return to Kaizer Chiefs with renewed confidence.

The goalkeeper is expected to finalise the switch in the coming days as both clubs conclude the necessary paperwork ahead of the new season.
