Chiefs announced in June that Xulu was one of the seven players who were not in coach Steve Komphela’s plans for next season and that they had terminated his contract.
But Xulu’s agent Paul Mitchell disputed this, saying the 25-year-old defender had three years left on his contract.

Meanwhile, Maritzburg have also announced the signing of six other players.
The players are: goalkeepers Jethren Barr and Richard Ofori, defenders Rushine De Reuck and Motsie Matima as well as midfielders Mxolisi Kunene and Liam Youlley.
