AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy has explained the reasons behind the decision to release veteran Siphiwe Tshabalala from the Durban side.

McCarthy paid tribute to Tshabalala, adding that he was more than just a player at AmaZulu.

“He’s always helpful and he’s been phenomenal, but I think having a Shabba there [in the team] then you lose the potential of a Tshepang [Moremi] and a [Lindani] Shange. We’ve got a lot of youngsters coming through and if you hold onto the senior players the young players will not get their time. “How can you say he’s younger when he’s growing and yet he can have kids and be married? He’s not a young player anymore and 18, 19, that’s also no more young.

“We hold on [to older players] for dear life but for me it was time to make a decision [to release Tshabalala], and it’s a tough decision.
