Thembinkosi Lorch is reported to be facing a shock exit from Mamelodi Sundowns less than six months after joining the club.

Despite registering six goals and three assists in 20 games for Sundowns, the 30-year-old is rumoured to be on his way out of the club less than six months after joining the club.

According to sources close to the club, the departure of Rhulani Mokwena is likely to see Nyoso also follow him out of the club, as it was the coach who insisted on the club signing him despite the club’s Sporting Director Flemming Berg being against the move due to his age.

The South African international is yet to report for pre-season as he is currently nursing an injury he sustained towards the end of last season and is likely to miss a couple of months.

Meanwhile, the club has already parted ways five players, namely Brian Mandela Onyango(currently training with Supersport United), Bongani Zungu, Gaston Sirino, Thabiso Kutumela, and Junior Mendieta(joined Greek Super League club Volos NFC) with more expected to follow.
