  • The 28-year-old requested an early release to pursue regular first-team football.
  • Ndah made over 80 appearances for the Buccaneers since joining in 2021.
  • Management granted the request following “careful and respectful” internal discussions.

Ndah, who arrived at the club three years ago, quickly became a cornerstone of the Pirates’ defence.

Renowned for his composure and disciplined tackling, the centre-back was instrumental in stabilising the backline during his tenure.

The club’s leadership praised his professionalism, noting that he represented the badge with distinction throughout his 80-match stay.

The decision to part ways stems from the player’s desire for increased game time as he enters the next phase of his career.

Pirates’ management acknowledged Ndah’s honesty during negotiations, stating that the release was granted in a spirit of mutual respect to allow the defender to secure a starting role elsewhere.

In an official statement, the club thanked the Nigerian international for his “steel and composure,” wishing him success in his future endeavours.

Ndah leaves the Buccaneers as a highly-regarded professional, having consistently embodied the values of the Soweto giants both on and off the pitch.
