Given Thibedi had joined Casric Stars on a free transfer in April where he had hoped to revive his career following a long battle with injuries.

However, it wasn’t to be as he struggled to adapt to life at Casric Stars, and contributed little to their success to the PSL Promotional Playoffs.

KAIZER CHIEFS ACADEMY GRADUATE RELEASED BY CASRIC STARS

“I think overall, he’s had a good spell at the club given that he joined them in April,” said Mokoro.

“It is important for any player to get regular game time but he has been unlucky with injuries this season at Swallows and that meant game time was extremely limited.

“He’s a free agent now, and has received his clearance from Casric Stars. He will keep fit because he still wants to play at the highest level. There has been a few inquiries already. So, we will see what happens,” he concluded.
