Lucky “Sheriff” Baloyi (born June 19, 1991 in Mokopane, Limpopo) is a South African football (soccer) player who plays as a midfielder and defender for Kaizer Chiefs in the Premier Soccer League.

Club career

Baloyi got the nickname ‘Sheriff’ because nobody could get past him in at the back. He went for a trial at Chiefs from Tshiamo Sports Academy from Polokwane in 2005. There was a mix-up where Chiefs were expecting a defender, midfielder and striker and Tshiamo sent two midfielders and a striker. “When we arrived at Chiefs they asked, ‘So who of you guys is a defender?’ and the three of us kept quiet … “We were so scared, because we thought we were going to be dismissed and I was so desperate to play for Chiefs, so I raised my hand and said, ‘I’m the one who is a defender!”

Baloyi did well at the trials and played in defence under Patrick Ntsoelengoe until Fani Madida took over to coach the reserves, when he was converted to midfield.
