Cape Town - The agent of former Orlando Pirates midfielder Andile Jali, Paschalis Tountouris, has confirmed that the 27-year-old will not return to the PSL despite his lack of playing time at KV Oostende.
According to the voetbalnieuws.be website, Tountouris says that the midfield enforcer will remain at the Belgium club till 2018.
"He has had a difficult season and is underestimated and undervalued, however, Oostende took the option until mid-2018," said Tountouris.
"Jali misses the game because he played little, but you see in the recent play-off matches that he has many qualities.
"We think it’s time to move on and we are working on a solution. Return to South Africa? Those rumours do not have to be believed because he is only 27-years-old and has many great years ahead."
Soccer Laduma website, reveals that Jali has drawn interest from Premiership giants Mamelodi Sundowns but it seems that his agency is working around the clock to keep him in Europe.

Gavin Hunt doubtful of Bidvest Wits players being honoured by PSL

Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt believes his players have little chance of winning individual accolades at the end-of-season PSL awards.
It is yet to be confirmed when the annual ceremony to reward individuals in the league will take place following the 2016/17 season, but it is likely to be held back until after the Nedbank Cup final on June 24.
Despite the Clever Boys having completed a historic season, claiming the MTN8 cup and a maiden Absa Premiership title, Hunt remains sceptical of his players’ chances of being recognised by the PSL.
“Never [will one of our players win the footballer of the year award]!” exclaimed Hunt.
"I was at SuperSport, we won three league titles [but] the player [Teko Modise] that played for a team that finished eighth won footballer of the year and football-sports, whatever those awards [are called] – crazy.
“We’ll never win footballer of the year because it doesn’t come from us. But for me, we’ve got three or four good candidates – I won’t name them.”
Meanwhile, the four-time league-winning coach is relishing the prospect of walking through a guard-of-honour when they take on Kaizer Chiefs in their final league game at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.
“It’s going to be the sweetest thing of my life, I got that cup rammed in my face many times there,” he said with a cheeky smirk, before disclaiming, "no, I’m not like that.”
