Chiefs Set to Hand Young Academy Prospect a Three-Year Deal

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly close to securing the long-term future of promising young defender Emile Dortley after reaching an agreement on a three-year DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) contract.

The 17-year-old centre-back has agreed to the proposed terms, with the remaining paperwork currently being finalised. Once the administrative processes are completed, Dortley is expected to officially sign the contract and commit his future to the Soweto giants.

The young defender has impressed within the club’s development structures, earning recognition for his composure, defensive awareness and ability to build attacks from the back. His performances for the DDC side have reportedly strengthened the club’s confidence in his potential.

Dortley’s expected contract also forms part of Chiefs’ broader strategy to identify, develop and retain promising young players. The club will be keen to ensure that talented youngsters have opportunities to progress through its academy system and eventually challenge for places in the senior team.

The teenager previously joined Chiefs from Cape Town Spurs and has continued working towards establishing himself at Naturena.

His older brother, Rushwin Dortley, is already part of the senior squad, adding another connection to the Dortley family at the club.

Although the agreement is reportedly in place, the deal is yet to be officially signed and announced.
