Kobamelo Kodisang has returned to Portugal after a frustrating spell at Mamelodi Sundowns.

The 25-year-old arrived at Chloorkop last year on a five-year contract but only played 13 official games, contributing two goals and two assists, and he has now been deemed surplus to requirements.

Kodisang has signed for Portuguese Premier League club AVS Futebol SAD on a 1-year loan deal from Mamelodi Sundowns, with an option to make the deal permanent.

“It’s good to be here and back in Portugal. In fact, it’s as if I never left. I arrived at an excellent club, and now I’m going to try to give my best for AFS,” said Kodisang upon arrival.

“The league is very competitive and not easy. We must always give our best, and we can’t predict match results or the final standings. We must give our all and try to finish as high as possible in the table,” he continued.

He was previously at Moreirense, SC Braga B, and AD Sanjoanense in the southern European country.

“I’m someone who always tries to give my best, both in attack and defence. I don’t like to disappoint the fans. If they come to support and encourage us, we have to give our all for them. I can guarantee that; I’ll give my all in every game. I hope that’s enough to make the fans happy.

“The most important thing is to always give my best. If I do, I help the team. And if the team improves, we’re all happy.”
