Other players whose contracts are coming to an end are Abel Mabaso, Nathan Paulse, Aubrey Funga and Lawrence Lartey, as confirmed by Menzo.
“Those players are at the end of their contracts,” Menzo told reporters after his club’s loss to Baroka on Saturday.
“I also say, at this moment they’re at the end of their contracts, but if I can’t find better players, I have to then make these players better. But under normal circumstances, these players will leave the club,” added Menzo.
Meanwhile, Ajax juniors suffered a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Mineiro in the final of the 2017 Terborg Toernooi in the Netherlands on Sunday afternoon.
Leo Thethani was crowned Player of the Tournament, with the attacker also walking away with the golden boot accolade, having scored five goals in five matches for the Urban Warriors.
