Eric Mathoho, a former Kaizer Chiefs player, is currently facing an uncertain future in the Premier Soccer League (PSL). Mathoho was released from the Chiefs at the beginning of the new season and has yet to sign with a new team. Despite training with SuperSport United and participating in a friendly match, recent reports suggest that Mathoho may not be joining the club after all.

Chiefs’ Restructuring and Departing Players

The Chiefs have made multiple signings in the off-season, including Thathayoane Ditlhokwe, Given Msimango, Mduduzi Mdantsane, Edson Castillo, Pule Mmodi, Ranga Chivaviro, and Tebogo Potsane. This has led to the departure of several key players, including Mathoho. During the previous season, the club relied on players like Edmilson Dove, Zitha Kwinika, and Siyabonga Ngezana as regular center-back options. Njabulo Ngcobo, Austin Dube, and Mathoho played minor roles during that time. Of these fringe center-backs, only Ngcobo remains, while Dube has re-signed with Richards Bay on a two-year deal.
