South African forward Cassius Mailula returns to Toronto FC after loan spell at Wydad Athletic Club

South African forward Cassius Mailula has returned to Toronto FC after his loan spell at Wydad Athletic Club.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns forward joined the Moroccan side on loan in August 2024 under the guidance of coach Rulani Mokwena.

Despite having seemingly lived up to expectations at the club, Mailula’s time in Morocco has now come to an end as he looks ahead to the next chapter in his career.

Mailula released a statement on Monday confirming his departure from Wydad.

“It is with a heavy heart that I write this message, as I want to let you all know that I will not be continuing with the team for the upcoming season,” Mailula wrote on his Instagram page.

“My time with Wydad has been an incredibly special and rewarding experience, and I will forever be grateful for it. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you.

“From the security staff to the technical team, to my teammates-your kindness and support has meant the world to me. You all hold a very special place in my heart.

“I must also thank the President for giving me the incredible opportunity to represent Wydad, and Coach Rulani for his unwavering belief in me,” he added.

“Without his trust, I wouldn’t be the player I am today. I wish the club, the fans, and everyone involved nothing but continued success in the upcoming season and beyond.”

The 24-year-old ended the 2024/25 campaign with at least five assists and a goal in 14 league appearances. In January, he was named the club’s Player of the Month for his standout performances.
