Kaizer Stefs officially announces the departure of George Matlou!

Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that midfielder George Matlou will be the first player to depart the club during the off‑season, with his contract set to expire and not renewed.

The Amakhosi announced that Matlou’s current deal, which runs until the end of June, will not be extended. The 27‑year‑old joined from Swallows FC in July 2022 and was part of the squad that lifted the Nedbank Cup in the 2024/25 season.

“After four seasons with Kaizer Chiefs, George Matlou’s contract will not be renewed when it expires at the end of June 2026,” the club said in a statement.

“The 27‑year‑old attacking midfielder joined the Glamour Boys from Swallows FC in July 2022 and played an important role in the squad that lifted the Nedbank Cup during the 2024/25 season. We thank George for his commitment and contribution to Amakhosi and wish him well in his future career.”

Matlou’s departure signals the beginning of what could be a busy transfer window for Chiefs as they look to reshape their squad ahead of the new season. The club have not yet indicated whether further exits are expected.
