Stellenbosch FC's Gavin Hunt on soon be out of contract Thabo Moloisane: I will not side-line him from the starting line up because of those issues

Gavin Hunt will not side-line Thabo Moloisane at Stellenbosch FC because the defender has not renewed an offer from the club.

Hunt said this trend of isolating players in the last six months of their deal because of a pre-contract somewhere is not a wise move.

Like now, Moloisane is in his last six months at Stellies and he is yet to sign what the Betway Premiership club describes as a ‘competitive offer’.

This make makes many assume he is not keen on staying on at the PSL club upon expiration of his contract.

“I know a lot of coaches do it differently,” said Hunt.

“I mean, I can think of Kaizer Chiefs, and they got rid of George Maluleka because he signed another contract and they were going to win the league. Are you crazy? You just got to keep playing,” Hunt told the media.

“So I call the shots. I say, ‘You either play here or you go now’. So I said to him and another player, ‘Give me your all, and otherwise, you go’.

“The football Gods will get you if you cheat the game. Now, you’ll cheat when you go to your next club, won’t you? So do it properly here.

“I don’t know if he signed or not, or what’s going on, but any player who comes to the end of their contract has to look out for their own personal interests.

“I understand that, but play properly, and football will look after you. I always believe that. So he gave me his word. I said, ‘Okay, fine, you’ll play’, because I could have banished him, you know, just said, ‘Look, you’re not going to play’. But I don’t like to do that.

“I’ve won many leagues with players without a contract coming to the end and told them they must play.”
