We are building to create something special - Solomons.


Kaizer Chiefs right-fullback, Dillon Solomons, says despite the challenges the club faced this season, they are building something special at Naturena, and hopefully the results will show next season.

Solomons was speaking to Chiefs media department ahead of their last game of the season against Cape Town City.

"Playing for Chiefs is a big achievement for me. Being part of this team is a great experience," Solomons told www.kaizerchiefs.com,

"It has been a relatively inconsistent season for the team, but we are building to create something special, so hopefully we can win something next season. It was heartbreaking to not win any silverware playing for Chiefs but these things happen in football and , as I say, hopefully we can put that right next season."

Solomons, who has appeared 25 times for Amakhosi since joining them from Swallows FC, scoring one goal and providing two assists, says he is satisfied with his form this season, despite the inconsistency which he attributes to injuries.

"I feel my overall form has been good this season, a little inconsistent here and there, but injuries didn’t help me. For me, I think in your first season with a new club you are trying to adapt to the environment, and I think I did pretty well with that. Hopefully, next season I can kick on and give the fans something to smile about," said Solomons.

On their last game of the season, the 24-year-old says the team is in good spirits, and they are looking forward to the game.

"We are in good spirits this week. We’re looking forward to the game. Even though it’s the last game of the season, people might think our minds are not here and we’re thinking about holidays, but this is a very important game for us. We owe them (Cape Town City) one. When we went to Cape Town, we didn’t get the result we wanted. Now they are coming to us so we have to kill them off this weekend.

“We have to make FNB (stadium) a fortress. When teams come there, they have to be scared, so hopefully we can put some fear into Cape Town City on Saturday and then get the win.”

Chiefs will host Cape Town City on Saturday 20 May at FNB Stadium. Kick-off will be at 15:00.

A loss to City will see Amakhosi finishing 5th on the log.

Opinion: Ofori has every reason to believe Bucs can compete in Africa.
