Kaizer Chiefs confirmed on Wednesday that Ranga Chivaviro has left the club with immediate effect.
The forward joined Chiefs in June 2023, and the club chose not to extend his two-year contract.
In total, Chivaviro has made 45 appearances for Chiefs while scoring nine goals.
Chivaviro did not reach his full potential with Chiefs, as he struggled with injury during the 2023/2024 season.
Kaizer Chiefs Part Ways with Striker Ranga Chivaviro
“Kaizer Chiefs will not be extending striker Ranga Chivaviro’s contract when it expires at the end of the month,” said the club in a statement.
“The Limpopo-born attacker joined Amakhosi from Marumo Gallants in the 2023/24 season on a two-year deal.
“We thank Ranga for his positive contribution to the team and wish him all the best in his future exploits.”
Chiefs completed another deflating season in the Betway Premiership as they ended ninth, their second league campaign in a row in which they finished outside the top eight.
The goal-scoring battles of Chiefs were well-documented as they netted just 25 times in 28 matches.
According to reports, Chiefs are set on securing the services of a Mamelodi Sundowns striker currently on loan. According to Soccer Laduma, Chiefs are intent on signing 23-year-old Nigerian striker Etiosa Ighodaro, who is currently on loan to AmaZulu from Sundowns.
This comes after unsubstantiated rumours emerging that Orlando Pirates forward Monnapule Saleng might be making a move to Chiefs.
The 27-year-old Saleng was believed to have been left out of the side for months due to a salary dispute, although the club has not confirmed this as they remain tight-lipped on the situation.
