Former Orlando Pirates defender Olisa Ndah has penned a farewell message to the club ahead of what he says is a new chapter of his career.

Ndah recently parted ways with the Buccaneers via a mutual agreement to search for game time elsewhere.

The 28-year-old spent five seasons at the Soweto giants, having joined from Nigerian side Akwa United.

Ndah was recently linked with a move to Libyan top-flight club Al-Shomooa, a move his club has strongly denied.
