Orlando Pirates defender Happy Jele faces a bleak future with the Soweto club yet to tie him down to a new deal, according to reports.
Jele has been an integral member of the club over the last decade, playing a prominent role in their double treble success between 2010 and 2012.
With his contract expiring at the end of this season, the club was expected to have opened up contract talks with him.
The 30-year-old will be free to negotiate and sign with a club of his choice in January as he will be in the final six months of his contract.
Sadly, the Mpumlanga-born player was part of the club’s drastic change in fortunes, in which they failed to reach the top eight for the first time in the PSL era.
