Kaizer Chiefs are ready to tie goalkeeper Brandon Petersen down to a new contract, keeping him at Naturena until 2030.
Chiefs tie Petersen down to new terms
According to Goal, Kaizer Chiefs are readying a new deal for goalkeeper Brandon Petersen. The 31-year-old has been the club’s undisputed number one this term, making 22 appearances in the league. Reliable sources indicate that the two parties have aligned on a fresh two-year agreement, which includes an option to extend for another year.
What’s next for Kaizer Chiefs?
After a 1-1 draw with Sundowns on Wednesday, Chiefs know that five more points will guarantee third place in the Betway Premiership this term. Next up is a trip to Sekhukhune on Sunday, 10 May, kickoff at 17:30. The match will air on DStv channel 202. Three points here would put them within touching distance of CAF Confederation Cup qualification. Midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu misses the match through suspension after his booking against Sundowns.
Minor drop-off shouldn’t cost the Glamour Boys
Kaizer Chiefs clocked up five consecutive wins between 15 March and 15 April to put them in a strong position. Since then, however, they’ve only picked up three points from a possible 12, losing to Siwelele and registering stalemates with Polokwane, Orlando Pirates and Sundowns. Five more points in their last three matches would give them an unassailable lead over fourth-placed AmaZulu.
