A second source stated that while Ozoemena should be part of the senior team, he will continue to play for the DDC side and then be called upon for the first team when needed.
"It's not that he will stop playing for the DDC side. He is still a Chiefs player and he can play where they want him to play at including the DDC team. You know the same was happening with Wandile Duba and Sabelo Radebe who are registered with the senior team but at times plays with the DDC team. That's how it will be at the moment," the second source stated.
