Kaizer Chiefs secure star with new deal amid European interest, according to iDiski Times.
Chiefs acted swiftly to secure the future of the forward Ashley Du Preez, locking him into a new two-year contract extension. This deal ensures his presence at the club until July 2027, reinforcing their attacking lineup and injecting confidence into the squad. His commitment arrives at the perfect time, following his return to full fitness, which has already made an impact on the pitch. Chiefs recognize his value and have demonstrated their faith in his abilities with this timely contract renewal.
Chiefs move quickly to end speculation
Kaizer Chiefs wasted no time initiating contract talks with Du Preez last week, determined to secure his long-term future at the club. Both the management and the forward shared a mutual desire to put an end to speculation, especially as interest from European clubs intensified. With the transfer market buzzing, Chiefs ensured that they retained one of their most valuable assets before foreign suitors could lure him away.
During the off-season, Portuguese clubs Santa Clara and Vitória Sport Clube aggressively pursued Du Preez, recognizing his blistering pace and attacking prowess. His performances had positioned him as a prime target, making Chiefs’ decision to lock him down even more crucial. By securing his services, the club reinforced its commitment to building a competitive squad and keeping its top talent on home soil.
A timely return to fitness
Du Preez’s contract extension comes at a pivotal moment for both him and the club. After missing six games due to injury, he returned with renewed determination, delivering a strong performance against Sundowns. His sharpness and resilience were on full display when he came off the bench against Magesi, netting the winning goal and marking his fourth strike of the season.
His return to form reinforces Chiefs’ attacking threat and proves why the club fought to retain him. Locking him in until 2027 strengthens their offensive line up and signals their ambition to compete at the highest level. With his future secured, Du Preez can now focus entirely on delivering match-winning performances, and fans can expect even more electrifying displays from the dynamic forward.
