Former Kaizer Chiefs and current Mamelodi Sundowns attacker George Lebese has confirmed that he is looking for an exit from the former Caf Champions League winners.

The 29-year-old has failed to make the grade at Chloorkop after signing a mega-deal from Chiefs in 2017.

The fan-favorite who has slipped behind the likes of Aubrey Ngoma, Themba Zwane, Lyle Lakay and Toni Silva in the pecking order at Masandawana has confirmed his decision to leave the big-spenders after a frustrating spell on the sidelines.

‘It didn’t happen the way I expected‚’ Lebese told SowetanLive.

‘So‚ like a professional‚ I had a couple of meetings and I’m looking to make a move next year.

‘It was disappointing. It was a childhood dream. I’m glad that it happened.

‘No hard feelings. Like I said‚ it wasn’t what I thought it would be.

‘So – ja‚ I’m not angry. I’m just glad that I could easily tick that box and say‚ ‘I’ve fulfilled my dream’‚ rather than living with regrets.

‘It is what it is. We have to move on and look for greener pastures,’ he added.

Former Absa Premiership champions Bidvest Wits have reportedly shown an interest in the former Chiefs star, however his wage bill is said to have caused a stumbling block.

‘I think I’m quite made up in my head right now.

‘It doesn’t look like it’s going to change. So I’d rather look for opportunities.”

‘I’ve spoken with Steve and I’m open to anything. We just have to be very smart about what comes up. Because‚ like now‚ this was a learning curve.

‘It doesn’t have to be Joburg‚ but anywhere else where there’s an opportunity to play,’ he added.
