Ashley Du Preez, the electrifying forward for Kaizer Chiefs, is a name synonymous with pace and deadly finishing in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
While not yet the highest-paid player in the league, Du Preez is rapidly approaching that coveted position.
Born in Stellenbosch, South Africa in 1997, the 27-year-old keeps his personal life private, with details about his family shrouded in mystery. However, his professional life is an open book, marked by a meteoric rise.
In 2021, Kaizer Chiefs recognized Du Preez’s talent, signing him from Stellenbosch for a hefty R6 million. This three-year deal, with a potential extension, solidified his position as a key player for the club.
While Du Preez himself hasn’t disclosed his salary, reports suggest it sits around a comfortable R300,000 per month. This figure reflects the dedication and skill that have propelled him to the top of the PSL.
Du Preez serves as an inspiration to aspiring young athletes. His career trajectory is a testament to hard work and perseverance. As he continues to hone his skills, one can only expect him to climb even higher in the ranks of PSL earners, potentially reaching the coveted top spot.
However, the race for the highest-paid player in the PSL is fierce. Only time will tell if Du Preez can outrun the competition and claim the top earner title.
Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain: Ashley Du Preez is a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, and his future in South African football shines bright.
