Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has hailed the return of Njabulo Blom amid continued speculation regarding his protracted contract negotiations.
The 22-year-old is out of contract in June and his renewal negotiations have sucked in his representative Rob Moore and the club's football manager Bobby Motaung.

Moore disclosed in a recent radio interview that Blom earns a lot less than other regulars at the club with Motaung then responding by stating that they are engaging the player's parents instead of the agent.
Through the period when Moore made the revelations about his client's pay package, Blom didn't feature in games against Cape Town City, Stellenbosch and AmaZulu but was then introduced late on against Marumo Gallants and then put in a full shift for only the second time this season in the win over SuperSport United.
Last season all his 30 appearances for the club were starts and he was only substituted once playing both right-back and as a holding midfielder.
Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane points out that Blom is a player that they always want to have on the field.
"Good to see Njabulo playing and doing well," Zwane said.
"That is the Njabulo we know.
"We always want to see him on the field because he is one of the Kaizer Chiefs products.
"Once we see him doing well as a club, we are always happy for them."
With Dillan Solomons establishing himself at right-back with competition from Reeve Frosle, Blom faces a fight for his place in the team.
