Kaizer Chiefs are set to reward foreign defender Edmilson Dove with a contract extension.
The Mozambican utility defender joined the Glamour Boys in August 2022 as a free agent.
Since joining the Soweto giants, the experienced defender has made a total of 42 appearances for Kaizer Chiefs.
And while wholesale changes are expected to take place at Naturena ahead of next season, Dove looks set to remain at the club for at least two more years!
Kaizer Chiefs take big Edmilson Dove decision?
“People don’t know this, but Dove has a two-year option on his Kaizer Chiefs contract and an agreement is already in place for the two parties to sign and it’s a matter of time before Chiefs announce that Dove is staying,” a Citizen report read regarding the Amakhosi defender.
The publication went on to reveal the reason behind the club’s decision to keep the experienced defender around.
“Dove is a leader and the club needs his leadership in order to reclaim the glory days next season. He is also happy to stay at Chiefs. So like I said, it’s a matter of time before he signs the new contract.”
Final four Amakhosi fixtures revealed
The Glamour Boys are next in action on 12 May when they face AmaZulu FC, away from home.
A week later, Chiefs host Polokwane City before travelling to the Mother City to face Cape Town Spurs on 25 May.
The final fixture of the season for Kaizer Chiefs is against TS Galaxy however the date is yet to be decided by the Premier Soccer League.
