Gaston Sirino has penned a heartfelt message to Mamelodi Sundowns supporters following his exit from the club.
Sirino alongside Thabiso Kutumela, Brian Onyango and Bongani Zungu have all parted ways with the DStv Premiership champions.
The South American seemingly lost his place in the starting eleven after reports suggested that he submitted a transfer request last season.
With Sirino gone, he took to social media to say goodbye to the club and supporters.

"I have an uncle who went overseas and was given a jersey by the greatest, Pele, who left his own wedding to go and help his team win a final. Those are my expectations from my players."
