Durban — Veteran Defender Erick Mathoho has bid farewell to Kaizer Chiefs after the club confirmed his departure on Thursday.
Tower parts ways with the Amakhosi after a successful spell in which he was able to win two league titles and an MTN8 trophy.
Mathoho made a total of 259 appearances in the black and gold of Chiefs and scored 26 goals in the process and was a core member of the last Amakhosi team to lift league titles in 2012/13 and 2014/15.
The club hosted a farewell event for the 33-year-old in which he expressed his gratitude for his time at Naturena.
“I'd like to thank the chairman, Dr Kaizer Motaung for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the club and I appreciate every moment that I spent here at the club and even now when I'm leaving, my blood is still black and gold.”
