Sekhukhune United have confirmed the departure of Ivorian goalkeeper Badra Ali Sangaré.

Sangare parted ways with Babina Noko after keeping 34 clean sheets in 75 appearances across all competitions.

“Your safe hands, big saves, and fearless heart made us proud every time you stepped on the pitch. It’s been an honour having you, guard our posts.

“Our name echoed across the whole of Africa, when you collected your coveted gold medal, as an African Champion.
