Kaizer Chiefs have made a bold statement of intent by extending the contract of homegrown midfielder Nkosingiphile “Mshini” Ngcobo until June 2027. Once on the fringes of the squad and facing a potential loan move, Ngcobo has turned his fortunes around with impressive displays, earning the trust of the technical team and a long-term future at Naturena.
At the start of the season, the 25-year-old was reportedly among the players the club considered loaning out to gain more game time. His form had dipped, and a minor injury coupled with early struggles under head coach Nasreddine Nabi’s system had raised doubts about his role. However, Ngcobo’s determination and hard work have paid off, as he fought his way back into the first team and became a valuable tactical asset.
A source close to the club confirmed the extension, stating that Chiefs have exercised a one-year option on top of his existing deal, keeping him at the club until 2027. “The club values Mshini as one of their best players. There were some early-season setbacks, but all that is behind him,” the source told Soccer Laduma.
Ngcobo’s contract extension underlines Kaizer Chiefs’ renewed focus on developing local talent and investing in players who understand the culture of the club. With Ngcobo now seen as a key figure in the midfield, the club hopes to build a more consistent and competitive squad moving forward. Fans have welcomed the news, viewing it as a step in the right direction amid a turbulent season. For Ngcobo, it’s not just a contract extension—it’s a second chance to cement his legacy at Amakhosi and lead the next generation of Chiefs stars
