Bye-bye! Chiefs confirm Khuzwayo exit

Cape Town - Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo will leave the club, ending their six-year relationship amicably.

"Brilliant Khuzwayo approached the club asking for a blessing to move to another club at the end of the current season,” Football Manager Bobby Motaung said, as quoted by the club’s official website.

"The main reason for his departure is for an opportunity play more games because he is not getting any younger.

"Brilliant gave us his all and we’ve given him our support throughout his stay with us," adds Motaung.

"When a player has been good to the club and asks to spread his wings, we have to respect his wish."

Khuzwayo thanked the chairman, his team-mates, staff and supporters for welcoming him and helping him fulfill his childhood dream of playing for the club he grew up supporting.

The 28-year-old joined Amakhosi in 2012 and played 37 matches for the club.
