SuperSport United F.C.’s CEO, Stan Matthews, said that Matsatsantsa couldn't justify offering Daine Klate the a wage that he was being offered elsewhere.

Daine Klate admitted that Bidvest Wits offered him a deal he simply couldn’t refuse.

“I was not happy with SuperSport United’s offer and Wits offered me a much, much better deal,”.

After helping his club secure their maiden league trophy, Bidvest Wits midfielder Daine Klate has made personal history after becoming the first PSL player to claim six league titles. Wits beat Polokwane City 2-0 at the Bidvest Stadium on the 17th of May 2017 to clinch the Absa Premiership title with one game to spare. The former Orlando Pirates midfielder scored the Students second goal, with a stunning left-footed strike, to put the icing on the cake of a remarkable achievement in his 12-and-a-half-year career. Klate won the league title three times with SuperSport United before bagging two more with the Buccaneers, becoming the first-ever South African to bag five league crowns in succession.

Daine Klate, already the most successful individual player ever in the PSL, netted two goals and an assist as Wits thumped Mamelodi Sundowns 3-0 at Mbombela The stadium in the MTN8 final on 1 October 2016. Klate’s first goal was a first-time shot with his weaker right foot. He then showed great bravery to go in for a header against Denis Onyango as he won the ball for Eleazer Rodgers to slide in the second. And Klate’s second strike was a great finish on the slide to turn home Rodgers’ pass to seal the result.

In 2015 Daine Klate completed his return to SuperSport United after several meetings between his agent and Dr. Irvin Khoza, ending weeks of speculation over his future. SuperSport United officially announced the signing of Daine Klate from Orlando Pirates. The Tshwane outfit broke the news on their official Twitter account. Orlando Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza paid tribute to the left-footed player who won two League titles in his first two seasons with the Buccaneers, adding to the three he won with SuperSport United between 2008 and 2010.

The winger ended off his 2014/15 PSL season at SuperSport United, on a six-month loan deal, while also in the last six months of his Orlando Pirates contract.

“He will forever be remembered at Pirates for his contribution. When we induct players in the future, he will be used as a reference point alongside other distinguished gentlemen such as Kaizer Motaung and Jomo Sono – players who represented this club with discipline and dedication.

Since Daine joined Pirates at the beginning of the 2010-11 season, some Pirates supporters believed him to have been the lucky charm that brought trophies aboard. In his first Knockout competition in Orlando Pirates colours, the MTN 8 Cup, Pirates won that trophy via penalty shoot-outs in Durban against Moroka Swallows. It was the first domestic trophy for Orlando Pirates in years. The last two trophies were from 2003. Since then, Orlando Pirates went on to win the treble that season. Picking up the Nedbank Cup (defeating Black Leopards 3-1 at the Mbombela Stadium) and Pirates' third Premier Soccer League title. The last league title was in 2003. In this season, Orlando Pirates played all available official games in the season, having lost the Telkom Knockout in the final against Kaizer Chiefs. Orlando Pirates also played all the finals that season. This title was the fourth in a row for Daine Klate who had won three consecutively with his former team, Supersport United.

He made his national team debut in the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal against Panama on 16 July 2005 and has so far been capped ten times scoring one goal.

Since being promoted to the club's first team as a 19-year-old in 2004, Klate has made the left-wing position at Supersport his own and has made over 100 league appearances for the club. He was one of the key players of United's back-to-back Premiership wins in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Like fellow South African international Elrio Van Heerden, Klate played for Port Elizabeth-based amateur football club Glenville Celtic as a kid. At age 15, he moved to Gauteng to play for the Transnet School of Excellence, an institution that has produced a host of Bafana Bafana stars including Steven Pienaar and Dillon Sheppard. In 2002, he joined the Supersport United Feyenoord youth academy.

The 35-year-old also boasts the record for the most domestic winners medals by an individual, including six leagues and eight cups, since the inception of the PSL in 1996.
