The 26 year-old will see his current Chiefs contract come to an end in June and it remains to be seen if the club offer him a new deal.
Chiefs still scrambling
Chiefs’ final game of the 2024/25 campaign is on Saturday, as they take on Polokwane City at FNB Stadium, still scrambling to finish the season in the top eight in the Betway Premiership.
Matlou has struggled with injuries since joining Chiefs in 2022. This season, he returned from a long-term injury in the New Year, but has only started three games in all competitions for Nasreddine Nabi’s side.
The midfielder has made 12 appearances off the bench, including in the Nedbank Cup final win over Orlando Pirates.
“My contract is coming to an end but I leave it to God, I grew up in the church,” said Matlou on Wednesday.
“I leave it to God, and to the technical team, and the board … but it is football so I am not going to plan for the future now.
“My focus is to win on Saturday and get into the top eight.”
Matlou says he has not even spoken to his own agent about his future.
“I am one player who doesn’t talk to his agent during a season. I have to focus on the team I am currently playing for. If I start thinking about my contract I will lose concentration on my game.”
The Chiefs midfielder did say he would like to win more trophies with Amakhosi. The Nedbank Cup victory over Pirates was Chiefs’ first piece of Premier Soccer League silverware in a decade.
‘I have to pay them back’
“I still have to win more trophies with the club, they have done a lot for me and I have to pay them back,” he added.
“It was a great feeling for me (to win the Nedbank Cup) … one achievement you are looking for as a player, winning a cup with a brand as big as Chiefs. It was a major achievement for me and the club. There was all this talk about ten years, blah, blah.
