Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star parts ways with SuperSport United after one season

Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Phathutshedzo Nange has parted ways with SuperSport United by mutual agreement.

The 32-year-old joined Matsatsantsa last season after two years with Amakhosi. Having just played three league games for Chiefs in the 2022/23 season, Nange sought a fresh start at SuperSport under Gavin Hunt but failed to cement his place. The midfielder only featured seven times for the three-time Premier Soccer League(PSL) champions.

Speaking to FARPost, the former Kaizer Chiefs man explained why he left SuperSport United after just one year.

“Firstly, I want to thank SuperSport for the opportunity that they gave me. For the time that I spent with them. I really appreciate it,” he told the publication

“All the SuperSport family, management, supporters and all the teammates. I appreciate the time I spent at the club, every moment and minute that I spent with them. Yes, it’s true that we have parted ways after a mutual agreement.

“So that I can look for a team where I can have more minutes. You would recall that I didn’t play much, and I wanted to have more minutes. I would say I really appreciate the time spent there. I enjoyed my time at the club and the opportunity that they gave me,” he said.

Nange left Kaizer Chiefs for SuperSport to get game time but the grass was not greener. At 32, the midfielder will struggle to find a top team that will play him regularly.
