Chippa United parts ways with former Chiefs and Pirates player

Nomadic striker Bongani Ndulula is on the move again after his departure from Chippa United this week.

The Eastern Cape club confirmed that their relationship with the 26-year-old former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates striker has come to an end.

A lot was expected from the nomadic former Bafana Bafana player from Aliwal North - who has also played for Bloemfontein Celtic and AmaZulu - when he joined United from Chiefs as a marquee signing in July last year.

He was unveiled as one of 13 new players that United owner Siviwe "Chippa" Mpengesi thought would set the PSL stage alight last season.

• The PSL players who really need a move in 2017The January transfer window can be a valuable time for Premier Soccer League players who will be desperately targeting a move away from their current clubs in search of greener pastures or game time. 

But Ndulula never really settled down in Port Elizabeth and struggled to win a place in coach Dan Malesela’s side.

"The club would like to thank Bongani Ndulula for his professionalism throughout his short stint in Port Elizabeth‚" United said in a statement.

"The player carried himself as a professional and had a good relationship with the supporters.

• PSL plays it safe, prolongs seasonThe Premier Soccer League has officially extended the end of the Absa Premiership season to June 17 and pushed the Nedbank Cup final to June 24 as it tries to cram in the remaining 2016-2017 fixtures. 

"We would also like to thank him and his management team for the manner in which they handled the negotiations between the two parties.

"We wish the player all the best in his future endeavours."

Chippa‚ currently 11th in the league with 16 points from 14 matches‚ host Premiership newcomers Baroka FC at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth in their first match after the break.
