American club Chicago Fire have signed another young South African footballer.
The Major League Soccer side has snapped up 21-year-old attacking midfielder Puso Dithejane from TS Galaxy.
Dithejane has signed a deal that runs until the end of the 2029/ 2030 season. The club also has the option to extend the contract for one more year.
He will join Chicago Fire under their U/22 initiative and will take up an international player spot.
Chicago Fire head coach and football director Gregg Berhalter said the club is happy to bring the young midfielder on board.
