Kaizer Chiefs Provide Latest Update on Morris Transfer Situation

 Kaizer Chiefs have moved to address growing speculation surrounding the future of striker Tashreeq Morris, following reports linking the experienced forward with a potential January 2026 loan move to Stellenbosch FC. As rumours gathered momentum in recent weeks, Amakhosi supporters have been eager for clarity, prompting the club to provide an update on the situation.

The speculation suggested that Morris could be set for a temporary switch to Stellenbosch in search of regular game time, with the story gaining further attention due to the possibility of a reunion with Stellenbosch head coach Gavin Hunt. Morris previously worked under Hunt at SuperSport United, a period widely regarded as one of the most productive phases of his career. That history, combined with his limited involvement at Kaizer Chiefs this season, fuelled belief that a loan move could benefit all parties involved.

Several local football publications, including FARPost and other PSL-focused outlets, went as far as reporting that discussions between Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC were at an advanced stage. These claims were largely driven by Morris’ struggles for minutes since arriving at Naturena. The 31-year-old has found it difficult to break into the starting line-up amid increased competition following new attacking signings, and he is yet to register a goal or an assist this season. As a result, questions have grown about his role in the squad and whether a move elsewhere could help him rediscover form and confidence.

However, Kaizer Chiefs have now poured cold water on the reports. According to reliable sources close to the club, including SoccerBeat, there is currently no formal agreement in place between Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC. The club has emphasized that no deal is close to being concluded and that Morris remains a fully registered Kaizer Chiefs player.

While it is acknowledged that enquiries and informal discussions are a normal part of the transfer window, Chiefs have stressed that the reports circulating in the media are speculative at this stage. No official approach has resulted in a breakthrough, and there has been no confirmation of an imminent loan move.

The latest clarification highlights how quickly transfer rumours can spread within the Premier Soccer League, particularly when an established and recognizable player is involved. For Chiefs supporters, the update offers some reassurance regarding squad stability, while Stellenbosch FC fans will have to wait for any official confirmation should interest in the striker progress.

As the January 2026 transfer window continues, the situation surrounding Tashreeq Morris remains fluid. Much will depend on opportunities for increased playing time and whether any concrete negotiations take place between the clubs. For now, Morris remains on the Kaizer Chiefs books, and supporters are advised to treat ongoing speculation with caution as further developments unfold in the coming weeks.
