"My contract with the club ended in June. I just came back to assist the team for the remaining games," Dlamini tells snl24.com/kickoff.
"I think I deserve to give respect to the team as there are other games to be played before I can talk about my future.
"[The former PSL players] came to assist us and we also helped them with game-time as they didn't have teams. As senior players they did well under the circumstances.

"In fact, I deserve to give credit to the whole team for putting their weight behind the team but unfortunately it was too little to late.
"They died with boots on and deserve to take pride for trying to do everything in their power to save the club from relegation."
Durban-based Eagles will be joined by one of TS Sporting, Jomo Cosmos or Mbombela United as they are all flirting with relegation ahead of the final round on Sunday.
Mbombela have the best chance of surviving on the final day but it is not looking good for Sporting and Cosmos after they failed to pick up victories on Wednesday.
