According to online reports, Vries has already started training with the Soweto giants.
Vries joins Kaizer Chiefs as a replacement for Brilliant Khuzwayo, who recently joined Orlando Pirates after having spent years as an understudy to number one goalkeeper, Itumeleng Khune.
The media reports quoted Kaizer Chiefs’ Football Manager, Bobby Motaung telling the club’s official website that after Khuzwayo left, they wanted to get a seasoned goalkeeper to assist Khune.

In Namibia, Vries played for Fedics, a lower division team, Orlando Pirates and Eleven Arrows.
He follows in the footsteps of Namibians like Pius Eigowab, Herman Blaschke, Oscar Mengo, Ishmael Lemmy Narib, Mohammed Ouseb and Robert Nauseb to have donned the famous black and gold jersey of Amakhosi, as Kaizer Chiefs is widely known to its supporters.
