“It’s never easy to say goodbye, but sometimes the game leads us down unexpected paths.
“I’ll always be grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the incredible players I’ve had the privilege to know.
“Though some situations may seem unfortunate, I believe there’s always an opportunity to turn them into something greater.
“I wish nothing but success and good fortune for the team.
“Boys, keep pushing, stay strong, and may luck always be on your side. Thank you for everything – wishing you all the best for the journey ahead @capetowncity,” wrote Erugral on his official Instagram account.
