Donovan Bernard rejoined Chicken Inn after his anticipated transfer to the South African club Kruger United fell through. The former Warriors goalkeeper had attracted interest from Orlando Pirates for a potential loan arrangement through Kruger United. Club president Lifa Ncube welcomed the player back and emphasized their continued support for him. Bernard immediately returned to action by helping Chicken Inn defeat Dynamos 3-0 at Luveve Stadium.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper previously experienced similar disappointment when Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila attempted to sign him in 2020. Bernard must compete with Pride Zendera for the starting position at Chicken Inn. His most recent appearance before the failed transfer was a scoreless derby match against Highlanders at Barbourfields Stadium. The experienced goalkeeper has represented How Mine and Ngezi Platinum Stars during his career. Ncube indicated that future transfer decisions will depend on guidance from Bernard's agent, Gibson Mahachi.
