Midfielder Siyethemba Sithebe has confirmed his departure from Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs.

The 31-year-old has ended speculation surrounding his future and will become a free agent when his contract at Chiefs expires at the end of June.

The central midfielder has made 39 appearances across all competitions since joining Amakhosi from AmaZulu in July 2022.

Sithebe has since taken to Instagram to confirm his departure from the Soweto giants.

“Ngidlulise ukubonga ku Khosi nation. Ithuba engilitholile ayi isandla sidlula ikhanda [loosely translated – Let me thank the Khosi nation for the time I got to play for them, my hands are above my head],” wrote Sithebe.

“Wish you the best season and future.”

Over the course of his career, Sithebe has racked up 175 appearances while scoring nine goals and registering nine assists playing for the likes of Mbombela United, AmaZulu and Kaizer Chiefs.
