Former Zebras’ goalkeeper, Ezekiel ‘Zakes’ Morake, is yet to commit his future with Pretoria Callies as he keeps his options open. Morake signed with the South African second-tier side in January on a six-month deal with an option to extend by a further year.

According to the player’s manager, Bakang Moipone, of Extreme Sports, they are to meet Callies’ management over the extension option as he ruled out a local move.

“’Zakes’ still has a one-year option on his contract with Callies. However, we are yet to exercise it. We will soon engage the club. As of yet, we have not received any offer either locally or internationally. Honestly, I do not think ‘Zakes’ will play locally anytime soon. The plan is for him to play outside and will do anything it takes to make sure we fulfil his dream,” Moipone said. Morake joined Callies after being idle for two years. He was previously on the books of the Ethiopian side, Ethiopian Coffee on a one-and-a-half-year deal.
