Thembinkosi Lorch, Wydad AC, November 2025

OFFICIAL: Thembinkosi Lorch joins ex-Kaizer Chiefs star's new club

After two seasons with the Moroccan giants, the 32-year-old attacker has moved to a new club. The ex-Bucs star was signed by Rhulani Mokwena, whose stint with the former CAF Champions League winners was turbulent, and the tactician left after a season. After Mokwena and Cassius Mailula's departure, Lorch has also left, leaving Wydad with no South African talent.
