Kaizer Chiefs Seek To Reward In-Form Player With a New Contract

• After scoring twice in three matches, Kaizer Chiefs winger Ranga Chivaviro could be rewarded with a two-year contract extension
• The 31-year-old winger has been utilised as Nasreddine Nabi's main striker this season, and he has repaid that faith in the opening matches of the season
• Local football fans acknowledged Chivaviro's form on social media yet felt the player was falling short in the main striker role

Winger Ranga Chivaviro's goalscoring form for Kaizer Chiefs could lead to a new contract at the Soweto giants.

The 31-year-old winger scored two goals in Chiefs' first three matches, and management is reportedly willing to offer him a two-year extension.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi has favoured Chivaviro over striker Ashely du Preez, while winger Wandile Duba said the Tunisian favours hard-working players over anything else.
