THE synergy between Kaizer Chiefs' first team and reserve team is still intact, despite the minimal integration of youngsters into topflight football in recent months following structural and coaching changes.

Chiefs were full of fire and confident of turning their fortunes around this season after an intense preseason camp in the Netherlands, where they had also invited three youngsters: Naledi Hlongwane, Thulani Mabaso, and Kabelo Nkgwesa.
But of the trio, only Hlongwane has made his senior team debut, the 19-year-old making his first and only appearance during their 2-0 win over Stellenbosch in the opening Betway Premiership clash of the season.
And with the club having since parted ways with coach Nasreddine Nabi who had been mandated to integrate youngsters into the team and having signed new "experienced" players, Lebogang Maboe and Khanyisa Mayo, the trio does not seem to have a future in the senior team for now.
