Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly set to part ways with striker Tashreeq Morris ahead of the new season, with the 32-year-old poised to reunite with former Amakhosi assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef at Durban City. According to SABC Sport, Morris’s departure would mark the latest exit in an ongoing squad overhaul at Naturena, as new coach Fernando Da Cruz prepares to arrive next week. Signed from SuperSport United in January 2025 under then-coach Nasreddine Nabi, the experienced forward endured a frustrating spell, making just four appearances across all competitions while spending much of last season on the sidelines. Although he managed to get on the scoresheet late in the campaign, Morris has fallen down the pecking order, with Flavio Silva emerging as the club’s first-choice striker.
Morris’s anticipated exit continues a clear-out that has already seen midfielder George Matlou and winger Happy Mashiane leave the club, with more departures expected as pre-season training begins this week. Several players face uncertain futures: Gaston Sirino and Pule Mmodi have contracts expiring at the end of the month, while reports indicate that Dillan Solomons has penned a new deal and defender Aden McCarthy has moved to Europe. The Glamour Boys appear committed to reshaping their attacking options and overall squad depth
