Kaizer Chiefs winger Glody Lilepo has become the second Amakhosi player to bid farewell from the club on Monday.
Lilepo, 29, had been left out of Chiefs’ pre-season, with Al Ahli Benghazi and Raja Club Athletic agreeing fees with the Soweto giants.
On Monday evening, Lilepo announced his exit from the club, thanking the club’s management, his teammates and supporters.
“Khosi Nation, It is with emotion that my journey with you comes to an end. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone at Kaizer Chiefs,” he wrote.
“To the management, Dr. Kaizer Motaung, Kaizer Motaung Jr., Bobby Motaung, the entire leadership team, the coaching staff, and everyone working behind the scenes, thank you for your support, and for giving me the opportunity to wear this iconic badge. It has been an honour.
“To my teammates, thank you for every moment we shared. It has been a privilege to fight with you.Together, we were able to bring a trophy back to this great club after ten years and secure qualification for the CAF Confederation in two consecutive seasons. I will always cherish the memories we created together. I know this club deserves more, and I have no doubt that greater days lie ahead.
“To the supporters, THANK YOU for your passion, support, positivity and kindness. Your love for this club is truly special. I hope I was able to bring you some moments of joy, even though we also experienced some difficult times together. Your energy, loyalty, and the atmosphere you created are something that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
“I will always be grateful for the opportunity to have represented this institution. I wish Kaizer Chiefs nothing but success in the future, and I truly hope the club returns to where it belongs. Khosi, thank you for everything. Amakhosi4Life GLM”
