Kaizerโฃ Chiefs Extendโ George matlou’s Contract, Add Khanyiso Mayo to Squad
JOHANNESBURGโค – Kaizer chiefs have confirmed a one-year contract extension for midfielder George Matlou, defying speculation that the โ27-year-old would be among the players departing the club. The announcement comes as Amakhosi bolster their squad with the loan signing ofโ forward Khanyiso โMayo.
Matlou, who โjoined the Soweto giants โฃfrom Swallowsโข in 2022, has seen limited game time, making only 41 appearances in three seasons, including aโฃ single league appearance last season. Despite this, and a meaningful player cull between Mayโ and July that saw โฃnearly ten โplayers released, the club โฃhas opted to retain โฃMatlou’s services.โข
His representatives, Mscsports Talent, confirmed the extension on X (formerlyโ Twitter),โ stating: “George Matlou commits to the journey! โ๏ธ โฃThe midfielder extends hisโ stay with the Amakhosi.”
Mayo Arrivesโฃ at Naturena
The contractโ extension for Matlou is pairedโ with the exciting arrival of Khanyiso Mayo, who joins Kaizer Chiefs on loan from โAlgerian โside CR belouizdad. Sportingโ Director Kaizer Motaung Jr. expressed the club’s long-held โฃinterest in theโ player.
“It’s no secret โthat we wanted to bring khanyisa to Naturena before his move to Algeria,” Motaung Jr. said. “he has a โคproven trackโข record in the โฃleague, and we believe he will add significant value toโ the squad this โseasonโ when we play in the league, asโ well as on the continent. He joins a select group โof athletes who’ve made their โคfamilies proud by followingโ in their footsteps. We are truly happy to have him here and wish him all the best.”
Looking Ahead
Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to integrate Mayo quickly as โthey prepare โto face Sekhukhune United in their next league fixture. Theโค question remains whether Matlou willโค be able to break into the first team thisโข season, despite the contract extension.
