Kaizer Chiefs attacker Gaston Sirino has reportedly undergone a significant change in his attitude, with insiders revealing a noticeable shift in the 33-year-old's approach to his football since returning from injury.
Sirino, who has featured in Chiefs' last two matches against Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu, is now said to have a fresh outlook, showcasing greater commitment and effort on the training field, according to insiders privy to information.
The Uruguayan forward, who was sidelined for a period due to injury, had previously found himself under scrutiny, as reported on Soccer Laduma. Prior to his injury, questions had been raised about Sirino's attitude for training sessions.
However, insiders claim that things have changed for Sirino since his return to action.
With the arrival of new players—Tashreeq Morris, Glody Lilepo, and Thabo Cele—Sirino has been made aware that his place in the team is far from guaranteed. The club's technical team, led by coach Nasreddine Nabi, has shown the attacker that no player is indispensable, pushing him to raise his levels and rediscover his form.

According to sources close to the team, Sirino has responded well to the challenge, with his increased work ethic and improved attitude now visible in both training and matches. His performance in recent games suggests that the forward is starting to show the type of commitment that will be necessary for him to secure a regular starting spot in the team.
This renewed determination comes at an opportune time, as Chiefs continue their bid for a strong finish in the league and look to build on the team's recent momentum.
With Sirino looking likely to feature in the upcoming match against Stellenbosch this weekend, it seems the attacker has found a new focus, eager to make a meaningful contribution to the club's goals.
For Chiefs, Sirino's transformation could prove pivotal in the second half of the season. If the experienced forward can maintain this newfound commitment, he could play a key role in the team's pursuit of silverware. And for Sirino, this marks a fresh opportunity to demonstrate his value to the club and prove his worth on the pitch.
