Another South African in England has been sent out on loan, with Southampton teenager Kgaogelo Chauke heading to the English Division One.
While Khanya Leshabela heads off to Crew Alexandra for the next six months, Chauke has joined Exeter City on loan for the 2022/2023 season.
The 19-year-old has been with Exeter for their pre-season already and has been in good form in friendlies, scoring in one game.
Chauke made his professional debut for Southampton in the FA Cup against Shrewsbury Town in January 2021.
“He impressed us,” Matt Taylor, Exeter’s coach said on the club’s official website.
“Over the last few weeks it’s been a chance for us to look at Kegs and Kegs to look at us, and provide some valuable feedback to Southampton about him.
“Within this time he showed us what he can do and we are really grateful to Southampton for the circumstances in which they’ve allowed the deal to go through.
“We want to develop his game and get him hardened and game ready in terms of seniority, and we’ve seen enough from his playing side and his character to believe he will have an impact this season.”
