South Africa Premier Soccer League side Orlando Pirates have confirmed that they have terminated the contracts of eight players including Zambia national team winger Augustine Mulenga after reaching a mutual agreement.
The Buccaneers confirmed the development in a statement on their official website monitored by the ZamFoot Crew.
“Orlando Pirates Football Club can confirm that it has met with the following players and their respective representatives and both parties have agreed to mutually terminate.”
The other players released by the Sea Robbers are Alfred Ndengane, Diamond Thopola, Xola Mlambo, Meshack Maphangule, Brian Hlongwa, Thembela Sikhakhane, and former South Africa U-20 national team captain Tercious Malepe.
The team went on to wish the released players the best of luck in their future endeavors.
“The Club would like to thank all the players for their service and wish them the best in their future endeavors.”
Mulenga joined Pirates in January 2018 after impressing for the Sensational Zanaco in 2016 helping them win the league and 2017 when they finished as runners up to Zesco United missing on the title defense by a single point.
Pirates now remain with two Zambian players on their books in striker Justin Shonga and winger Austin Muwowo.
This is the best that could have happened to this player…he was never used by the new manager and now he just has to prove the sea robbers wrong by becoming the beast that we all know he is…moment in time, the goal against Namibia at Heroes Stadium!!
I am not sure I agree with you. The guy came on the stage very late. He is now 33/34 years and does not comand a first team place, what do you expect
Even his friend Shonga need to up his game. How come Mwepu, Daka and now Fashion and doing well at their respective clubs
My goodness, is he that old?! In my understanding the man is 25 or just about…then by the basis of your analysis, I withdraw my unresearched statement!
Good for him, 9 months without kicking a ball on the field.
