Kaizer Chiefs defender Reeve Frosler is still driven by tenacity in his every step in believing that there will be light at the end of the trophy darkness tunnel at the club.
Frosler has been at Chiefs since January 2019 and through that time has felt the bitter taste of the silverware barren spell due to clock 10 years in May.

His contract is up at the end of the season, so he is now facing the threat of having come and left without contributing towards any trophy win.
"To be honest with you, I have never had that thought coming to my mind that I will be one of those that came to the club and get to leave without a trophy," says Frosler when asked about the thought of coming to Chiefs and leaving empty handed on the trophy front.
"This I say because there is always a chance to win a trophy.
"We have the Nedbank Cup coming up and that is a chance to win a trophy again, so we just have to keep focusing on the next game.
"It is obviously not nice not winning a trophy and it has been a difficult time for the club.
"I think most teams go through difficult times and once things get going again for them, they pick up.
"So, my time here hasn't been the best in terms of trophies, but we can always get better from where we are now and hopefully, we are on an upward spiral from here onwards.

"It is not easy, but we can change it here.
"I look at the way we started the season, it is better especially if you watch football how we play you can see improvements.
"If we continue focusing on ourselves and keep building on how we are we will get somewhere," says Frosler who has played under seven coaches at Chiefs.
