Thandani Ntshumayelo Officially Retires from Football! The midfielder has decided to leave the beautiful game.
Thandani Ntshumayelo has officially retired from football. He announced the decision on his social media platforms earlier today.
Bibo previously represented the likes of SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates with distinction, winning ABSA Premiership titles at the first. In his prime, he was one of the best midfielders around, even representing Bafana Bafana.
Disaster struck in 2016 though, after he tested positive for cocaine. He was banned from football but unbarred two years later.
In this period, he managed to represent Baroka FC and Swallows FC, to no major success. He has been without a club since.
“After careful consultation and lengthy consultation with my family, I’ve decided to officially announce my retirement from football with immediate effect,” he said in a statement on Thursday morning,” Ntshumayelo announced.
“It’s a decision that I didn’t take lightly because football has been part of my life. I feel privileged to have realised my dream of becoming a professional footballer.
“To my SuperSport United family, who gave me my big break to turn professional at the age of 18, I will forever be grateful for everything you have done for me.
“I want to thank SuperSport CEO Stan Matthews, academy coaches Godfrey Mosoetsa, Kwanele Kopo and coach Gavin Hunt who also became a father figure in my life, even in difficult times.
”A special thanks to the academy staff of SuperSport United and the aunties that took good care of us. It was also an honour to represent one of the biggest clubs in Africa, Orlando Pirates.
“It is for this reason that I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Irvin Khoza for giving me the opportunity to represent this big institution. I will forever cherish the moment that I got to wear the Orlando Pirates jersey and fight for the badge.” He spoke.
It is unknown where he will venture into at the moment. Thandani Ntshumayelo Officially Retires from Football!
