Kaizer Chiefs offer fan-favourite new contract! – Report

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly keen on keeping fan-favourite Leglohonolo Matlou at the club.

The midfielder joined the club at the beginning of last season from Swallows FC and his current contract comes to a close in June 2024.

Matlou will be eligible to sign a pre-contract elsewhere from December onwards and the Glamour Boys are reportedly looking to avoid that situation by securing his future at the club!

According to reports, Chiefs have tabled a new and improved two-year deal to Matlou and both parties are keen on concluding the deal in the coming weeks.

Kaizer Chiefs offer Matlou new contract

“The technical team is happy with his attitude and performance this season and they are the ones who have recommended that he be kept at the team for at least a further year.” a source told SoccerLaduma.

“And management had decided to offer him that one-year contract plus a one-year option. His current contract ends in June 2024 so that means he could be at the team until 2026 if the team exercises the one-year option.”

In other news, former Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat has played just TWO minutes of PSL football in 2023.

Billiat’s only appearance this year came in the final league match of the season for the Glamour Boys.

He was brought on just before half-time and subbed off due to injury before the second half got underway.

That would turn out to be Billiat’s last appearance for the mighty Amakhosi! And now, the Zimbabwean star is edging closer to a blockbuster move to Cape Town City!

Experienced football boss didn’t ‘deny’ rumours suggesting his side are trying to lure the big fish back to Cape Town.

Billiat was let go of by the Amakhosi in June after the player and club couldn’t reach an agreement over a contract extension at Naturena.

“Who wouldn’t be?” Comitis told Radio2000 as quoted by IdiskiTimes regarding his interest in signing ex Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat.

“I think he’s 33-years-old now. And ja. You never say no to a player like that. I’m not sure what his intentions are at the moment. But it’s a good one to think about.

“Who’s speaking to you now from my club? Just remember, I brought Khama from Zimbabwe to South Africa when I was at Ajax, remember that? So I know what Khama’s all about.”
