We believe Dan Morgan will give us the attributes required in this position, and this will increase the coach's options in terms of defensive formations as the season progresses. He comes with good pedigree and will also be an asset when defending set pieces."   Meanwhile, regarding Claasen, he said, "Daylon is a player who comes with both European and PSL experience, and someone our coach believes will suit our style of football very well. A creative player with superb technique and vision, he will complement the attacking players we have at the club.   Read: Chiefs Unveil Four Signings, Confirm Squad Numbers "A solid professional of good temperament, we believe Daylon will fit in nicely with the ethos of Maritzburg United and are excited about seeing what he can do for us on the field next season."   Lastly, on Lea'alafa, the chairman added, "Micah is an attacking midfielder or winger and we believe he will be a good fit for the team and combine well with the other midfielders we have and will provide the X-factor we're looking for on the front line."
