Experienced striker Tashreeq Morris is not expected to stay without a club for long. Following his sudden departure from Kaizer Chiefs, a new opportunity has already emerged in KwaZulu-Natal.
A Brief Spell at Naturena Ends
The Soweto giants confirmed that they reached a mutual agreement with the 32-year-old forward to terminate his contract. This decision brought a premature end to a stint that began in January 2025.
Morris initially arrived at Naturena from SuperSport United. He was brought in to bolster the attacking options of former head coach Nasreddine Nabi. However, the move did not yield the expected results. The veteran forward struggled to secure regular game time under Nabi, as well as under interim co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze.
Reports indicate that Morris wanted to remain with the Glamour Boys to fight for his place. Despite this desire, new head coach Fernando Da Cruz deemed the striker surplus to requirements. This tactical shift ultimately paved the way for his immediate exit.
Reunited at Durban City
In professional football, changing dynamics often create unexpected openings. Morris is now on the verge of a move to Durban City Football Club. This transfer will see him reunite with Ben Youssef, who previously worked with him in the technical setup at Chiefs.
The move appears highly strategic for both parties. The Citizens are actively rebuilding their squad for the 2026/27 campaign. Their upcoming schedule is demanding. It includes both domestic competitions and the CAF Confederation Cup, a qualification they earned by winning the Nedbank Cup last term.
Management views the former Sekhukhune United and Cape Town City attacker as a vital depth signing. His extensive domestic experience is seen as a major asset for a squad balancing local and continental football.
Morris is expected to be officially unveiled in the near future. He will likely be presented alongside other high-profile new signings. This includes former Orlando Pirates defender Bandile Shandu.
