When he re-joined the Buccaneers in September 2022 after parting ways with Mamelodi Sundowns, Erasmus signed a two-year deal which will come to an end in June. 

“He (Erasmus) is one of the players whose future will be decided at the end of the season when the club is making plans for next season,” said the source.
