Houston Dash have terminated the contracts of reigning African Player of the Year Thembi Kgatlana and her South Africa teammate Linda Motlhalo.
This comes on the heels of rumours linking the Banyana Banyana duo to China after spending the 2018 season with American women's club.
Kgatlana scored two goals and made three assists in 16 appearances, which included two starts, while Motlhalo played 21 games, scoring and assisting once.
And on Tuesday, the National Women's Soccer League outfit confirmed the exit of the former South Africa's University of Western Cape and JVW FC stars.
"The Houston Dash waived forward Thembi Kgatlana and midfielder Linda Motlhalo, the club announced today [Tuesday]," read a statement from the club website.
