However, the Siya crew have been informed that "Chappies" has agreed to a mutual termination of his contract in the final week of August, and is now free to search for a new club.
It's been a difficult couple of years for the former Santos man after Wits exercised an option in his contract, despite deeming him surplus to requirements, although he will now be focused on getting his career back on track.
