Mozambique international Edmilson Dove has said his final goodbye to South African outfit Kaizer Chiefs as he departs the club.
The 31-year-old defender leaves the Soweto giants following the expiration of his contract this month, ending three-year spell at the club.
The defender was not registered at the beginning of the 2024/25 season due to injury. Upon his return, Dove managed just ten appearances in the league.
Dove expressed his gratitude to everyone for helping him fulfill a childhood dream. He especially highlighted the fans who stood by the team even after tough defeats.
“Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for allowing me and my family to become part of the Amakhosi family, for giving me the chance to make my childhood dream come true. This journey helped me grow not only as a player but also as a person. There were highs and lows, tears were shed, but there were also joyful moments that I will cherish in my heart forever”
“Thank you for your unwavering support throughout the years—even when we didn’t meet expectations, you continued to stand by us. Your loyalty and love for the team never go unnoticed—you are truly precious and deeply valued.” He
Having become a free agent, he is expected to find himself a new club before the commencement of the 2025/26 campaign.
