English Championship side Brentford, who narrowly missed out on promotion to the English Premier League this season, have confirmed that Bafana Bafana midfielder Kamohelo Mokotjo has left the club as a free agent following the end of his contract.

Mokotjo, now 29, joined the London side in 2017, realising his dream of playing in England after obtaining Dutch citizenship, which got him around the awkward work permit regulations for South African footballers wanting to play in England.
The former SuperSport academy player, who had a successful career in Holland at Feyenoord, Excelsior, PEC Zwolle and FC Twente, was a regular for Brentford in the 2017/18 and 2018/29 seasons, and even managed 25 league appearances this season, in a campaign blighted by injury.
Another injury appears to have kept him out of the latter part of Brentford’s season, as they just missed out on automatic promotion, and then lost this week in the play-off final to Fulham.
“Kamo has been superb for us over three years and now has the opportunity to take on a new challenge,” Frank told the Brentford FC official website.
We can confirm that Nikos Karelis and Kamohelo Mokotjo have now left the Club following the end of their contracts.
All at Brentford FC would like to wish both players well for the future.#BrentfordFC https://t.co/SOI9d0baif
