Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Cole Alexander has found a new home in Sweden following his exit from Amakhosi at the end of the season 2022/23.
The Cape Town-born star signed a three-year contract with Kaizer Chiefs as a free agent after parting company with Indian club Odisha back in 2021.
He made 28 appearances over his two year spell in Naturena, with a even of those coming under Arthur Zwane in the 2022/23 term.
Last season the midfield grafter struggled with injuries which saw him spending most of his time on the sidelines.
He has previously won the MTN8 Cup with SuperSport United in 2017/18 and still had a year left on his contract with the Glamour Boys but both parties decided to mutually part ways.
Earlier in the window he was linked with a move to Matsatsantsa, where he would have reunited with his former coach Gavin Hunt, having featured under him between 2018 and 2020 before Bidvest Wits was sold.
