The former Mamelodi Sundowns winger has ambitions of extending his career by playing one or two more seasons.

Dladla is a free agent after his contract with Amakhosi came to an end.

The 35-year-old's exit at Naturena was on amicable terms and it was time for him to move on.

"I am in great shape, I have been training and feeling better than I have ever felt in a long time and I am looking forward to playing football and passing on some of the experience I have to the youngsters," Dladla said in a statement.

"My legs can still go and I feel like I want to keep on going. I have spent nearly seven years at Kaizer Chiefs and I feel like it’s time for a new challenge.

"It was an honour to play for such a great team and I cherish the memories that I have.  

“I thank the chairman, the club and the fans for the unbelievable support that they have given me over the years and now it’s time to move on."
