Mamelodi Sundowns has released midfielder Gaston Sirino ahead of the new season, the club confirmed on Monday.
Sirino had fallen out of favour at the club after attempting to pursue a move to Al Ahly two seasons ago.
He joins Bongani Zungu, who confirmed his exit last month, along with Kenya international defender Brian Onyango and Thabiso Kutumela.
“Thank you to our departing players. The Yellow Nation thanks you for your effort and hard work over the years,” a brief statement from Sundowns on social media read.
Kutumela spent last season on loan at Cape Town City and returned to the club at the end of the campaign. He joined Sundowns in 2021 from Maritzburg United but failed to cement a place in the starting line-up and also saw himself lose a place in Bafana Bafana Bafana squad.
Onyango also joined Sundowns from Maritzburg in 2020 and leaves the club having made 147 appearances, winning three DStv Premiership titles.
Meanwhile Fullview understands that Junior Mandieta is on the verge of joining Greek Super League club Volos NFC from Sundowns.
