Durban City FC have pulled off a coup ahead of the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season, signing striker Tashreeq Morris from Kaizer Chiefs. The 32-year-old joins the Citizens with more than a decade of top-flight experience, adding firepower to a side currently 8th in the league with 39 points from 30 games.

What’s the deal with Tashreeq Morris?

Morris arrives at Durban City FC after struggling for minutes at Amakhosi, where he made just 12 league appearances last season. The move reunites him with head coach Khalil Ben Youssef, who previously worked with Morris at Naturena. The Citizens are banking on the 32-year-old’s 200-plus senior appearances—including stints at Ajax Cape Town, Cape Town City FC, Sekhukhune United and SuperSport United—to shore up their attack.

Why does this signing matter for Durban City FC?

With 25 goals scored and 26 conceded so far this season, Durban City FC sit 8th in the Premier Soccer League, 30 points behind league leaders Orlando Pirates. Morris’s arrival comes as the Citizens chase a top-half finish, and his experience could be the difference in tight games. The club’s statement stressed his “valuable top-flight experience” and ambition to push for higher targets this season.

What’s next for Morris at Durban City FC?

Morris has already spoken about his excitement for the project in KZN. “I am delighted to be joining Durban City FC and to become part of this exciting project,” he said. “The club has shown great ambition, and I am looking forward to contributing my experience.” Durban City FC will hope his arrival helps turn their recent form—three losses and two draws in their last five—around before the season’s final stretch.
