All three senior goalkeepers at Naturena have contracts expiring in June 2024. Skipper Itumeleng Khune is set to finish his playing career at the end of the current campaign. The 36-year-old is no longer first-choice between the sticks and has featured in five games this term. Will he transition into coaching at the club? Meanwhile, 28-year-old Bruce Bvuma is pondering a new contract offer from the club. As the current third-choice, will he be content sticking around with no playing time? He’s yet to feature in 2023-24.
