The 29 year-old former Kaizer Chiefs shot-stopper has never featured in an official Premier Soccer League game since joining Pirates a season ago.

"It was a great feeling to come back to the club‚ unfortunately due to my ankle‚ I was unable to fulfil my dream‚” said Khuzwayo. "I am a person who always wants to perform knowing I can give my all in everything I do‚ however‚ due to my ankle and after consultation with the specialists it was said that I wouldn’t be able to play at an elite level."

The injuries contributed to the Durban-born keeper struggling to force his way into the Pirates starting line-up with the club turning to experienced No1 Wayne Sandilands and Siyabonga Mpontshane."I would like to thank all the supporters who have been behind me from the day I joined this club."They’ll always hold a special place in my heart.Khuzwayo joined Chiefs in 2012 and played 37 matches for the team.
