Kaizer Chiefs appear to have tied down another out-of-contract player on a short-term deal, although Siya source indicated his departure
Kaizer Chiefs appear to have tied down another out-of-contract player on a short-term deal, although Siya sources at Naturena have indicated his departure is looming.
The Glamour Boys are believed to have reached an agreement with defender Kgotso Moleko until the end of the month in order to have him covered for the upcoming CAF Champions League final.
Moleko’s initial contract expired on June 30 along with several of his teammates, some who have already also been either given longer extensions or similar short-term deals, which is required by law if a player is going to be on their books.
The Siya crew reported last week that the right back was believed to be on his way out at the club despite having previously worked with recently appointed coach Stuart Baxter during his first spell at Chiefs.
Moleko is just a month away from turning 32 and at that age the player would no doubt want more game-time than has been the case at Amakhosi – last season under then coach Gavin Hunt he made only 11 appearances in all competitions.
From what the Siya crew has been told by insiders, the former Bloemfontein Celtic star, who has been at Chiefs since 2012, is expected to leave the club soon after the Champions League final against Al Ahly this weekend in Morocco.
“I feel very proud to be part of a team that’s in the Champions League final,” Moleko was quoted telling the club’s media department this week.
“We are all together in this because even those players (who) had personal family issues or were injured are all here. We are determined to work hard when we go up against Al Ahly to make the team proud.”
This massive encounter on Saturday could very well be his last in Chiefs colours.
