Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has expressed his delight at seeing the 30-year-old return to club football with the Chilli Boys, but he has coupled his praise with a stern warning.

The 27-year-old custodian has been in South Africa since February 2021, initially turning out for JDR Stars as he began his journey in the country.
