According to the club, the 24-year-old has always been dreaming of plying his trade overseas and they have wished him the best of luck.

Having played in 13 games for coach Steve Barker's troops and netted a single strike so far, Moon will hope to establish himself in Europe and also catch the eye of the national team selectors.

The former AmaZulu coach has also wished the lanky forward the best of luck in his next step, saying he is pleased with the player's move:

"It is always pleasing to see players follow their dreams.
“Ryan has always wanted to apply his trade in Europe and we're happy for a player like that to go on and achieve what he has set out. We wish him all the best."

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Solomons join the Swedish Allsvenskan outfit as a free agent after leaving Ajax at the end of the last term.

It is reported locally that the duo is believed to have signed three-year deals contracts with the ambitious Swedish club.

In other news, Briefly.co.za ran a story on outspoken former Chiefs player Junior Khanye who had asked the mid-fielder Siphelele Ntshangase to leave the Glamour Boys.

The retired midfielder spoke just before the club decided to terminate the former Black Leopards midfielder's contract and parted ways with him in March.

Khanye argued that Ntshangase is under too much pressure at Amakhosi and could do better at a club such as Chippa United, Lidoda Duvha, or even AmaZulu.
