Chiefs and Tau, whose contract expires at the end of the season had entered in talks for a new deal but then came the decision to postpone talks until the end of the season. Tau has been recuperating from a toe injury he sustained back in September and he has not played this season.

According to the player’s business manager, Jazzman Mahlakgane, both parties are happy to wait until the defender has fully recovered.

“We are comfortable with the situation,” Mahlakgane tells KickOff.com.

“It was a mutual agreement not to rush the player and we agreed to allow him to complete the healing process,” he adds.
