Ngezana has featured regularly for Amakhosi under Gavin Hunt this season, making a total of 23 appearances in all competitions.

“The feeling is great,” Ngezana told the club’s official website.

“It always feels like I’m joining the club for the first time when I sign a new contract. I am looking forward to repaying the club by working hard and hopefully winning trophies.

“I’d really like to thank the chairman, Mr Kaizer Motaung and the management for the faith and trust they’ve shown in me, I’d also like to give thanks to my family for all the support. We will have a small celebration at home today. But what I know is that real work starts now!”

Chiefs also announced that they have included an option to extend Ngezanan’s contract by another two years.
