Orlando Pirates Football Club have released a statement, confirming Terrence Dzvukamanja will join SuperSport United.
Dzvukamanja deal expired at the end of June and Pirates have opted against exercising one-year option on his contract.
“Terrence Dzvukamanja, approached the Club pleading to be released to play in Zimbabwe to be close to home in order to address pressing family matters,”said Pirates in their statement.
“After consideration, the Club offered to pay his salary while sorting out his personal issues at home. The Club acceded to this on compassionate grounds.
“As part of the Club’s commitment to players’ welfare, Orlando Pirates makes an effort to, where possible, meet the players’ requests in circumstances that help, among other things, their mental wellbeing.
“The Club was therefore surprised by an approach from SuperSport United for the player’s services since the Club had made plans to include the player in their CAF Champions League squad.
“With this new development, the Club will release Dzvukamanja to SuperSport United.”
Dzvukamanja played 19 games across all competitions last season for the Sea Robbers, scoring eight goals, and two assists.
