Truter reveals why Kaizer Chiefs failed to sign Gamildien from Swallows FC

The experienced forward was one of the players targeted by Amakhosi when their Fifa transfer ban was lifted

Swallows FC coach Brandon Truter has revealed Ruzaigh Gamildien could not accept what Kaizer Chiefs were offering him as well as the duration of the contract the Soweto giants were keen on, resulting in the striker's failed move to Naturena.

The 32-year-old forward was widely reported to be a top target for Amakhosi and Truter says the interest from Chiefs affected Gamildien’s form towards the end of last season.

“I think towards the end [of the season] when the interest broke in the media that he might be going to Chiefs, I think that disturbed his rhythm last season,” said Truter as per Sowetan Live.
