The South African player Thembinkosi Lorch has drawn the curtain on his experience with Wydad Athletic Club, directing a farewell message to the various components of the team, through which he announced the end of his journey with the Red Castle and opened a new chapter in his professional career.

In the message he published on Monday, Lorch expressed his great appreciation for Wydad Club, confirming that representing the team and wearing its jersey was an important and honorable milestone in his football career. He also valued the support he found since joining the club, whether from the management, the technical staff, or his fellow players, considering that the trust he received will remain one of the most prominent things he gained from this experience.

The player specifically thanked the club's president and all components of the management, alongside the technical staff and all employees, pointing out that the experiences he gained and the human relationships he built within the team will accompany him in his sports career and personal life.

Lorch did not hide his deep affection for Wydad's fans, directing a special message to them, confirming that their strong presence and continuous support were decisive elements in motivating the players and making every match a distinctive experience on the field.

The player concluded his message by affirming that he leaves Wydad carrying feelings of respect and appreciation for this prestigious club, wishing it success in upcoming events, and emphasizing that Wydad will always remain like a 'home' to him, with hope that new paths will bring them together in the future.

Lorch's departure comes in the context of a transitional phase that Wydad Athletic Club is going through, as the club continues to rearrange its ranks in preparation for upcoming challenges, while the player's experience remains present as part of a path that will remain etched in the memory of both parties.

It is noted that Lorch had signed, two weeks ago, a contract with the Libyan club Al-Ittihad for two and a half seasons, after initially joining Wydad on loan during the last winter transfer period, before being permanently contracted in the summer of 2025.
