Kaizer Chiefs tie star defender down to new deal

Kaizer Chiefs are close to securing a new contract for one of their most reliable performers in recent seasons.

Miguel to pen new Kaizer Chiefs deal

According to a Citizen source, Inacio Miguel is close to signing a new contract with Chiefs. The 30-year-old Angolan star has made 16 league appearances this term and made 53 appearances overall since joining in August 2024.

“I’m not sure about the length of the new contract, but what I can tell you is that Miguel is definitely staying with Chiefs,” said the source.

“Chiefs value Miguel so much that they extended his stay. Miguel is more than a player at the club; he’s a leader, and the players around him respect him. You can see his leadership skills when things are not going to plan. The technical team also values his inputs when it comes to the tactical aspects of the game, so it was really an easy decision to extend his contract,” added the source.
