“My contract with Stars expires at the end of June,” Mthembu was quoted by DailySun.
“But to be honest, I want to continue playing for Free State Stars. I had a good full season here and enjoyed success with the club.
“We played as a team, something I haven’t truly experienced to this extent in years. I also enjoyed playing under Luc Eymael.”
“For now I will wait to hear what Stars management have to say,” he added.
Mthembu believes that Stars will be competitive under Eymael again next season.
“I believe we will come back much stronger with Eymael in charge. Luc hates to lose!
“He does not want lazy players either. I was fitter this past season than the season before. Even after a game, I don’t feel tired. So I see a great future for me at Stars.”
