No current Kaizer Chiefs player has played more of a role in their recent success than Willard Katsande, so tying him down on a new contract will come as welcome news for the Amakhosi faithful.

Now though, having put pen to paper on a new three-year contract with the Glamour Boys, the 31-year-old has explained why he wanted to remain with Steve Komphela's side, saying he wants to leave a legacy at the club. Speaking to Chiefs' official website, 'Salt n Vinegar' said, "I am happy at finally renewing my contract with the club. Since day one I have been happy here, and the club has taken good care of me whether playing or not playing. Deep down I always knew this is what I wanted because even though there were offers elsewhere I knew this is the place for me. I am all about leaving a legacy after my playing career and this massive club offers me that." He went on to say, "Obviously my duty is to try and help the team win games and that alone will never change because Chiefs is a big club that is used to winning. All this success I have been blessed with over the last couple of years has been made possible by my hard work here, and it's all on me now to repay the confidence the club has shown in me with good performances and all out commitment when given a chance to play." Katsande did attract interest from overseas after entering into the last six months of his contract with Chiefs, however, an improved offer helped persuade him that he should remain in Mzansi.
