SuperSport United has terminated defender Clayton Daniels’ contract with immediate effect.
The club said it chose to part ways with the 36-year-old defender after they could not agree on the length of a new contract. United has decided to focus on removing young players from their development structures.
Daniels, who joined the club in the 2014/15 season, has played more than 200 games for United and has won a Telkom Knockout, two Nedbank Cup trophies and two MTN8 titles.
“Clayton has been a great player and warrior for our club and helped us win all three national cups and compete in many cup finals, including the Caf Confederation Cup,” said SuperSport CEO Stanley Matthews.
“We understand his desire to play regularly, but as a club we also have to keep an eye for the future, as Clayton had a chance at a young age. We have players like Luke Fleurs and Thatayaone Dithlokwe who need to have regular playing time.
“So we agreed to release Clayton with immediate effect and we wish him the best in his future both on and off the field.”
Daniels said he still wants to play soccer and is working to find a new home.
“I feel like I have two good years left, so I don’t want to spend those years watching others play. But that does not change the incredible time I have spent at the club and how good they have been to me, and I was entrusted with the captaincy in 2014, “he said.
“So I wish the best to my entire SuperSport family and no one can take away the history we made together. It is part of football and now I will be looking forward to finding a new club to finish my career ”.
