Hadebe signed for Kaizer Chiefs in 2017 after previously spending some time on trial with the Amakhosi a year earlier. Hadebe’s move to Chiefs didn’t start the best, as he was sidelined with an ankle injury for the first three months.

Hadebe spent just two years at the Amakhosi before moving to Yeni Malatyaspor in the Turkish Süper Lig. Hadebe spent two seasons in Turkey before moving to the United States where he joined the Houston Dynamo.

Why Gareth Bale turned down a move to Cardiff City in favour of Los Angeles FC explained

Los Angeles FC recently confirmed the acquisition of Gareth Bale on a free transfer. Bale's contract at Real Madrid had wound up with neither party interested in renewing the deal.

Bale had initially considered retirement but made a U-turn when Wales qualified for the World Cup. The perceived idea was for the 32-year-old to find a short-term club to keep fit as the Qatar event drew closer.

The Welshman will pen a 12-month contract and becomes the latest high-profile star to move north. Bale was set to retire from football after a hugely successful career with Real Madrid. His move to LAFC is interesting as Inter Miami are set to be paid $75,000.
