Reports claiming that Patrick Maswanganyi and Bahraini club Al-Khaldiya SC have agreed to end their contract have been disputed, with a source confirming that the South African midfielder remains with the club.

Speculation about Maswanganyi’s future circulated on social media over the weekend, with some reports suggesting that the player and the club had reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract. The rumours also linked his alleged departure to claims of ill-discipline, raising questions about his future in Bahrain.

However, the latest information suggests that the former Orlando Pirates midfielder is still part of Al-Khaldiya’s plans. A source has dismissed the reports of a possible separation, insisting that Maswanganyi remains at the club and is happy with his situation.

“There is no truth to those reports. He is still with the club and played over the weekend. The club appreciates him, and he is happy,” the source said.

Maswanganyi joined Al-Khaldiya in August 2026 after bringing his time at Orlando Pirates to an end. His move to Bahrain marked a new chapter in his career, giving him the opportunity to continue playing football outside South Africa after establishing himself in the Betway Premiership.

During his time with Pirates, Maswanganyi became known for his technical ability, creativity and contribution to the team’s attacking play. He was often expected to help link the midfield with the forward line, create chances and provide the team with attacking ideas in the final third.

His performances made him an important part of the Pirates squad, and his departure represented a significant change for the Soweto club as he looked for a new challenge abroad.

Moving to Al-Khaldiya gave the midfielder an opportunity to experience football in a different league and continue developing his career. As a result, reports suggesting that his stay in Bahrain could end only a few months after his arrival attracted attention among South African football supporters.

The rumours also raised questions about whether Maswanganyi would return to South African football or remain abroad. However, there has been no confirmation of a contract termination, and the source’s comments directly challenge the claims circulating on social media.

The source also pointed out that Maswanganyi had played for Al-Khaldiya over the weekend, further supporting the statement that he remains involved with the team.

For now, the available information indicates that Maswanganyi is still an Al-Khaldiya player. The club’s reported appreciation of the midfielder and the source’s assurance that he is happy provide a different picture from the rumours about his future.

Maswanganyi’s next steps will be followed closely by supporters who watched him develop at Orlando Pirates. However, until any official announcement says otherwise, reports of a separation between the player and Al-Khaldiya remain disputed.
