Cole Alexander has concluded his time at Kaizer Chiefs after reaching an agreement with the Club to become a free agent.

The midfielder had a year remaining on his contract. However, following negotiations between his representatives and Club management, a mutual consensus was reached for him to be released.

Born in Cape Town, 33-year-old Alexander signed for Amakhosi on a three-year deal in a free transfer from Indian side, Odisha in 2021. He featured in 21 matches (17 starts) during his first season, but recurrent injuries limited him to only four starts and three substitute appearances last term.

“We are sad to see a talented player like Cole leave the Club but, having spoken with his people, we came to the conclusion that it is in the interests of all parties for us to let him go,” says Amakhosi Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr., adding, ”We will always appreciate Cole’s contribution to Kaizer Chiefs and give him our blessings and wish him everything of the best in his career.”

Alexander is the fourth player to leave the Club since the conclusion of last season, following the departures of Mulomowandau Mathoho, Siyabonga Ngezana and Phathutshedzo Nange.
