With Arthur Zwane making it known that Kaizer Chiefs are eager to sign a left-footed centre-back, Richards Bay have enquired about the services of a defender who is seemingly not part of Zwane's plans.
The Bafana Bafana international was in the stands for Chiefs' opening two league matches against Royal AM and Maritzburg United.
On top of that, Austin Dube only played less than an hour of football in the eight games he featured in the last campaign, with Zwane as the interim coach.
And as reported by the Siya crew, Amakhosi are looking to sign Edmilson Dove, a left-footed centre-back, as Dube is the only natural candidate for that role. But with Zwane considering Sifiso Hlanti as an option for that role and Amakhosi set to sign Dove, the future looks bleak for Dube.
In order to get game-time, Chiefs might consider sending Dube on loan with his former club Richards Bay showing interest.
And as reported in the latest edition of Soccer Laduma (1286), indications are that the Natal Rich Boyz have asked Chiefs whether Dube would be open to a loan move back to the club.
With the imminent arrival of Edmilson and Zwane preferring to use Siyabonga Ngezana while Dube is available as a left-footed centre-back, Dube will likely drop further down the pecking order at Naturena.
