The 31-year-old Soweto-born player completed his switch to the United Arab Emirates outfit two years ago.
Known as ‘Cream’ to his followers, Serero followed his former Ajax Amsterdam manager Marcel Keizer to the Gulf, which has seen an incredible change of fortunes for the club.
The defensive midfielder has since earned widespread praise for his role in their revival - he featured in all but one game in their 2020/21 league triumph - which is their first since 2016/17 campaign and third in their history.

Briefly News has gathered that the Amakhosi hierarchy is weighing their options and the English manager might go back at Naturena. According to iDiskiTimes, the former Bidvest Wits coach could part ways with the Soweto giants at the end of the current season.
Although they have reached the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League for the first time in history, their run on the domestic front has not been convincing.
