Ndlondlo: It was a dream come true to represent Orlando Pirates

The 30-year-old midfielder made 65 appearances for the Buccaneers, scoring three goals and creating a further three, following his switch from Marumo Gallants in 2022.

He was a part of Jose Riveiro's title challenging side the past three seasons but was deemed surplus to requirements by new head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou ahead of the upcoming Betway Premiership season.

Ndlondlo posted on social media: "From the bottom of my heart I'd like to take this opportunity and thank the Chairman amongst the chairman and the whole Orlando Pirates family for giving me the opportunity of fulfilling the dream I had as a young kid of playing for the biggest team in the country.

"And it's not anyone that gets that opportunity and live that dream but I was one of the fortunate kids so I'm so grateful for all the platform that was offered to be to me able to achieve all the things I have accomplished and created the best memories with the best and special group that turned into brothers.

"From the staff, the mothers in the kitchen that prepare food for us, the groundsmen of Rand and Orlando [Stadiums] to the ever faithful centre-line [supporters] and the people behind the team, you'll forever be a part of me.

“Thank you all that have supported me throughout and for my mates – I love you and you know the story it was nice – I wish you nothing but the best, you know the story that; Once and Always.”
