Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Phillip Ndlondlo has spoken for the first time since he left the club.
The 30-year-old spent three seasons with the Buccaneers, making more than 50 appearances and scoring three goals. In June, the club opted not to renew his contract after three years.
Ndlondlo is now free to sign with any club of his choice after being granted his clearance from the Buccaneers. The former Orlando Pirates star took to social media to thank the fans.
“From the bottom of my heart l would 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 everyone that gets that opportunity and live that dream but l was one of the fortunate kids,” Ndlondlo wrote on his Instagram account.
“l’m so grateful for all the platform that was offered to me to be 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 prepares food for us, the grounds man of Rand and Orlando Stadium to the ever faithful fans and the people behind the team,” he said.

“You will forever be a part of me. Thank you to all that has supported throughout, and to my mates, I love you and you know the story. It was nice, and I wish you nothing but the best. You know the story that once and always.”
