Melgarejo was signed from Al Bataeh FC in the United Arab Emirates. The Botswana Football League (BFL) transfer window closed last night with Chiefs emerging as the biggest buyers as they bid to win their first league title since 2015. Coach, Pontsho Moloi, speaking at the weekend after the team's 1-1 draw with Sua Flamingoes said the integration of the new players was going as planned.
