DStv Premiership side TS Galaxy have parted ways with midfielder Lefa Hlongwane, the player has confirmed on his social media platforms.
The former Black Leopards player is a free agent after he and TS Galaxy terminated the contract by mutual consent.
This comes after the Gauteng-born player failed to cement his place under the German mentor Sead Ramovic, who has barely featured for the club this season. In the 2023/24 season, the player featured in only three league games. He played 20 PSL matches last season for TS Galaxy.
The last league match that the influential player Hlongwane played came on August 27, 2023, for TS Galaxy versus Royal AM during a 1-0 loss.
Galaxy head coach Ramovic has relied mainly on Lindokuhle Mbatha in the left winger position. The duo of Lehlohonolo Majola and Sphiwe Mahlangu were seemingly ahead of Hlongwane in the pecking order this season.
