Daniel Akpeyi has extended his contract with PSL side Kaizer Chiefs and will remain at the club until June 2022.
Akpeyi joined Amakhosi in the January transfer window of 2019 on a one-year deal. The move was a contingency plan after first choice goalkeeper Khune Itumeleng suffered a long term injury.
But, the Nigerian has been so impressive he has remained first choice for Manager Ernst Middendorp, although Khune has been in and out with niggling injury concerns.
On Wednesday, the club confirmed the 33 year-old has agreed a contract extension that’ll see him stay for another two seasons.
