Phillip Ndlondlo has officially confirmed his departure from Orlando Pirates with a heartfelt message on Instagram, bringing an end to his time in Soweto.

“From the bottom of my heart I’d like to take this opportunity and thank the Chairman [Dr Irvin Khoza] 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,” Ndlondlo said.

“But I was one of the fortunate kids so I’m so grateful for all the platform that was offered to me to be able to achieve all the things I have accomplished and create 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 groundsman of Rand [Stadium] and Orlando [Stadium] to the ever faithful center line tsssszzzz fans supports and the people behind the team you’ll forever be a part of me.

“Thank you all that has 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.”
