Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed Willard Katsande has signed a new three-year contract at Naturena. The midfield maestro has proved a vital cog in the Amakhosi machine, although his current deal expires in June, and contract talks between the parties have been lengthy. However, Chiefs have since confirmed a new deal has been signed with Katsande, who missed a penalty in the 1-1 Soweto Derby draw against Orlando Pirates on Saturday.

Speaking hours before the deal was announced, Chiefs coach Steve Komphela spoke of his desire to retain the midfielder's services, while also backing the Zimbabwean to bounce back from his penalty miss against Orlando Pirates in Saturday's Soweto Derby.
