“Coach (Nasreddine) Nabi is happy with Maart’s contribution and considers him as one of the leaders in the team, so he has recommended that the club give him a new deal,” said the source.

“I hear it’s a two-year deal with an option to renew for a further year,” added the source.

Maart, who is a product of the Orlando Pirates development academy, joined Amakhosi from Sekhukhune United in July 2022.

He has been an integral part of Chiefs’ starting line-up since joining them. In his first season at Amakhosi, Maart made 34 appearances in all competitions during the 2022/23 season, scoring four goals and providing two assists, and last season he made 28 appearances.
