His contract was due to come to an end next season, meaning he was free to sign a pre-season contract with a club of his choice early next year.
Kaizer Chiefs have since minimised the risk of losing their academy graduate for free by exercising their contract extension on him.
'The club is aware that if they don't exercise his option as soon as possible then they could lose him for free or at least close to nothing because his contract was coming to an end in June 2026,' an insider told Soccer Laduma .
'So with the exercising of the one-year option it gives the club the chance to negotiate a better price if the move was to happen.'

AmaAmaZulu boss backs coaching unit ahead of Stellenbosch clash
AMAZULU coach Arthur Zwane. | BackpagePix Image: Isithombe:BACKPAGEPIX With a crucial game against Stellenbosch Fc coming up this weekend to kick off their season, Amazulu boss Sandile Zungu rested the hopes in his seasoned coaching unit. The 51-year-old Soweto-born Arthur Zwane heads up the coaching unit together with Siboniso Vilakazi. Former Durban City man Simo Dladla has also joined the technical team. Dladla was highly instrumental in Durban City's promotion to the Betway Premiership and the move to AmaZulu also pays homages to the close ties between KwaZulu-Natal football clubs. Durban City's promotion means that four KZN-based teams play in the Betway Premiership. That seasoned technical unit will not have any easy task though, given that the club let go of 17 players at the end of last season.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading The AmaZulu roster left over is a thin one indeed, but new signings and the strengthening of their technical team have kept the AmaZulu's spirits alive, according to Zungu. Playing against determined Stellenbosch at the Cape Town City Stadium on Sunday will give supporters a taste of what the remaining players and new signings look like. Stellenbosch said that they are ready to "carry Cape football", according to Lee Langeveldt. Stellenbosch have been the superior team of the two when comparing performances from last season, making the semi-finals of the caf confederation cup after a second consecutive third place finish in the league. AmaZulu finished sixth in the league last season, giving the Western Cape team a mental edge going into Sunday's encounter, but Zungu appeared confident in his teams ability.
