Civics team manager Paul Stramis confirmed that the player has handed in a resignation letter, but did not say what his reasons were for leaving the club. Sources indicated yesterday that the industrious 2008 Namibia Football Association (NFA) Player of the Year has left due to financial reasons.It is widely rumoured that he might join first-division outfit Monitronic College, but Ngatjizeko was not available to confirm that.Stramis said he was disappointed at the unprofessional manner in which the player submitted his resignation.”He simply faxed a letter to us, but failed to come and see us and talk about his plans with the club.He should have been man enough to do that, but it is in his right to leave the club in the end,” said Stramis Ngatjizeko, who joined Civics in 2004, was earlier rumoured to join Mvela Golden League side Jomo Cosmos, but that deal never materialised.He later went for trials with South African Premier Soccer League side Santos, but he also did not get the nod there.Despite that, Civics will prove to be a force again, after they acquired the services of former Ramblers striker Pineas Jacob who is now officially registered with the club, while Black Africa’s front man Jerome Louis is also on the books of the triple league champions.Also, a source indicated that Orlando Pirates midfield duo Riaan Cloete and Rudi Louw are on the verge of leaving the premiership champions.The two players could not confirm the reports, but their team manager, Mario Carreira said they are contracted until June 2010.Louw’s contract at South African Mvela Golden League outfit FC AK ran out last season and re-joined Pirates, but was also linked to Eleven Arrows, which later gave up on chasing his signature.Another player that has joined Monitronic College is Warriors and former Civics midfielder Victor Helu.Helu joins former Ramblers striker Bradley Wermann at the first-division club.The transfer period of the Namibia Premier League will close on November 6, but at this stage, there are still a number of players who have not committed themselves to teams, despite tendering their resignations.Sources indicated yesterday that the industrious 2008 Namibia Football Association (NFA) Player of the Year has left due to financial reasons.It is widely rumoured that he might join first-division outfit Monitronic College, but Ngatjizeko was not available to confirm that.Stramis said he was disappointed at the unprofessional manner in which the player submitted his resignation.”He simply faxed a letter to us, but failed to come and see us and talk about his plans with the club.He should have been man enough to do that, but it is in his right to leave the club in the end,” said Stramis Ngatjizeko, who joined Civics in 2004, was earlier rumoured to join Mvela Golden League side Jomo Cosmos, but that deal never materialised.He later went for trials with South African Premier Soccer League side Santos, but he also did not get the nod there.Despite that, Civics will prove to be a force again, after they acquired the services of former Ramblers striker Pineas Jacob who is now officially registered with the club, while Black Africa’s front man Jerome Louis is also on the books of the triple league champions.Also, a source indicated that Orlando Pirates midfield duo Riaan Cloete and Rudi Louw are on the verge of leaving the premiership champions.The two players could not confirm the reports, but their team manager, Mario Carreira said they are contracted until June 2010.Louw’s contract at South African Mvela Golden League outfit FC AK ran out last season and re-joined Pirates, but was also linked to Eleven Arrows, which later gave up on chasing his signature.Another player that has joined Monitronic College is Warriors and former Civics midfielder Victor Helu.Helu joins former Ramblers striker Bradley Wermann at the first-division club.The transfer period of the Namibia Premier League will close on November 6, but at this stage, there are still a number of players who have not committed themselves to teams, despite tendering their resignations.
