Kaizer Chiefs senior players have received criticism over the past five years and legendary striker Pollen Ndlanya has sent strong message ahead of new season.
Amakhosi have extended the contacts of Khama Billiat, Itumeleng Khune, Bernard Parker, Ramahlwe Mphahlele and Lebohang Manyama, which came as a surprise to some supporters.
Ndlanya strongly believes that the club couldn't really rebuild without senior players, however feels there's a need for change in terms of mindset and understanding their role in the team moving forward.
"I think they are still needed there. You can't rebuild without senior players," Ndlanya told the Siya crew.
"I would like to see them playing a role of leadership and helping young players. When I joined Chiefs, I was welcomed by seniors - the likes of Neil Tovey and others. They made it easy for us."
The former striker says those extensions are their last chance to rebuild trust and make sure when they leave, they are always remembered as heroes who contributed at Chiefs.
"Being given a chance means a lot, they need to change and become better role models to the youngsters, contribute positively to the rebuilding of the club and leave a good legacy for themselves."
