“The club is happy with him and the way he has recovered,” – an insider told SoccerLaduma regarding the former Orlando Pirates star.
“You know he is the club captain and they want to keep him as much as they can hence the two years for now as they are also considering his age. He is 34 and in 2027 he will be 36. So it’s not a bad deal at all.
“He markets the team very well. He’s a player they need even outside the playing field to market and promote the team.
“He has recovered from injury now and he can play but even when he was not playing he was like the face of the club and that’s why they want to keep him for another two more years.”
