Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau has broken his silence after sealing a move from Egypt's Al Ahly to Qatar Sports Club in the Qatar Stars League.

Tau signed a six-month contract with the relegation strugglers having been frozen out at Al Ahly, where he has been since leaving Premier League Brighton in 2021.

The 30-year-old Bafana star leaves Al Ahly with an impressive haul of medals. He won two league titles, as well as two CAF Champions League campaigns during his time with the Red Devils.

"From day one, I was here to make History, and together we made it," Tau said in a letter posted on his social media channels.

"You, my beloved ones, have been my home and my inspiration for the years I have been with you. Together we have made great and unforgettable memories.

"Together, we have won and celebrated 12 incredible Championships. I am really pleased to have achieved all of the great accolades with you, without saving a single drop of sweat.

"Each victory was made sweeter by your unwavering support and by seeing the smiles all over your faces. Your cheers, your passion, and your love have been the driving force behind my every moment on the pitch.

"Leaving is never easy, but I carry with me memories of joy, triumph, and unity for representing The Club of Century with this generation of great players," wrote the former Mamelodi Sundowns forward.

After also thanking his family, as well as the club's management, he signed off with "This isn’t a goodbye, but a heartfelt see you later..."
