AmaZulu's attempts to lure two players hit contractual snags, sources say
After playing one game in his first season, Mhlongo demonstrated major growth over the next three campaigns, securing his place in the senior squad amid multiple coaching changes.
The KwaZulu-Natal-born midfielder played 20 games in all competitions in 2024-25. Mhlongo has caught the eye of rival clubs with a source saying the player was spotted training with Usuthu on their return for preseason and recently completed a medical assessment with them.
'He was meant to sign the contract, everything was finalised, then boom, it appeared he is still under contract with Bay', the insider, who did not want to be named, said.
However, that door has apparently been shut, Bay maintaining the player remains contractually bound to them.
'Mhlongo's contract is left with two years and an option to extend for one year,' Bay chair Sfiso 'Jomo' Biyela said.
While that deal seems to have fallen through, after a mass offload of 16 players, AmaZulu have attempted to secure talented winger Maqokolo.
