Uganda international Allan Kateregga has confirmed that he has left Premier Soccer League (PSL) outfit Cape Town City.

The 25-year-old spent the second half of the 2018-19 season on loan at Maritzburg United before returning to the Citizens at the end of the season.

However, after meeting with the Citizens management over his future, the two parties agreed to part ways by mutual consent.

Kateregga’s contract with the Mother City-based outfit was set to expire in June 2021, which meant he still had two more years remaining on his deal.

However, the winger has opted to search for a new club following his stint at City, during which he found the back of the net once from 13 appearances in all competitions since moving to the club from AFC Leopards in January 2018.

‘I will not be staying at Cape Town City this season,’ Kateregga told Goal.

‘We have mutually parted ways. We are agreed for my contract to be terminated.’

Meanwhile, City chairman John Commits said: ‘Kateregga is a free agent.

‘Ja, we’ve parted ways. Listen, we’ve transferred him to Maritzburg United, we had an option to take him back, which we didn’t exercise at a later stage. Ja, it’s been like that because we had too many foreigners so weren’t gonna take him back.

‘I don’t know if he’s got some new offers. I think he is going back to Uganda. In one of the big clubs there.’

The pacey winger, who was part of Uganda’s squad at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt recently, posted a farewell message to City on social media: ‘Thank you Cape Town City for the opportunity. I would never thank you enough. I wish the club the very best for the future.’
