This website has been reliably informed that Brandon Theron, Keenan Phillips, Sanele Shabalala, Gladwin Shitolo, Sazi Gumbi and Nduduzo Mhlongo are all set to leave.
Theron, 33, has been with the KwaZulu-Natal side since August 2023, having joined on a free transfer from Maritzburg United [now Durban City] following their relegation that year.
Phillips, meanwhile, has spent two seasons with the Durban-based outfit after arriving from the now-defunct Moroka Swallows on a free.
Goalkeeper Shabalala, who has severely struggled for game time, joined at the beginning of the just-ended season from Mamelodi Sundowns, couldn’t make a single appearance.
Shitolo is set to exit after a lengthy stay at the club, having become an Arrows permanent player in 2022 following a series of loan spells from Orlando Pirates.
Mhlongo, who also joined in 2022, will depart after struggling for regular game time, managing just 20 appearances across all competitions throughout his stint.
And lastly, Gumbi, who made one appearance this season, is also set to leave after spending five seasons at the club.
