Kaizer Chiefs look set to part ways with rising star Donay Jansen, with the Soweto giants now working behind the scenes to secure him another loan move before the transfer window slams shut.
The 22-year-old striker spent last season on loan at SuperSport United, but he struggled to break into Gavin Hunt’s first team, managing only three appearances across all competitions. Despite joining the CHAN squad during their qualifiers, Jansen “never really got going at SuperSport,” a source revealed.
Chiefs have no plans for him this season
Before his loan switch, Jansen signed a first-team contract with Amakhosi. However, insiders confirm that the current technical team have no plans to use him this season, leaving his future in limbo. Chiefs are now actively exploring opportunities, with another loan move seen as the most likely option.
Surprisingly, Betway Premiership clubs have shown little interest in the youngster. Instead, Jansen could drop down to the Motsepe Foundation Championship, where he stands a better chance of securing regular game time and valuable experience.
Jansen determined to prove himself
Despite his uncertain future, Jansen remains focused on making a long-term impact at Kaizer Chiefs. “The player is determined to be part of the Amakhosi team in future,” a close source said. For now, his path to Naturena looks set to go through another loan spell where he can showcase his ability.
Chiefs are racing against time to find Jansen a club before the transfer window closes in the coming weeks. Another loan move could be the defining chapter in his bid to prove himself and secure a permanent place in the Amakhosi setup.
