The 27-year-old striker officially joined Amakhosi on a season-long loan from Algerian side CR Belouizdad, becoming the club's 11th signing of the campaign. His move also continues a rare family tradition, as Mayo follows in his father's footsteps by wearing the iconic gold and black jersey.

"The first person I called was my mother, who was sitting with my father, and they both jumped for joy and celebrated that I would be joining my father in continuing the legacy of the club," Mayo told the club's official website.

Mayo admits that while following a parent's path comes with added pressure, it is a challenge he has embraced from a young age.

"The fact that he came before me adds a bit of pressure, but it's something I grew up with, so I'm used to it," he said.

The former Cape Town City striker is eager to contribute immediately and make an impact for the Chiefs faithful.

"My aim is for the fans to have a wonderful season with me involved in the team," Mayo added.

"You can expect my best efforts to score goals for the team and work hard to help the club deliver success for our amazing supporters, creating unforgettable memories. Amakhosi 4 Life!"

Mayo's arrival is expected to bolster the club's attacking options as Chiefs pursue glory across domestic competitions.

Fans are excited to see the forward bring his pace, finishing ability, and flair to the pitch, while Mayo himself is focused on honoring his family's legacy and building his own.
