Zesh Rehman has confirmed his Pahang departure, revealing that he reached a mutual agreement with the club’s management to terminate his contract.
The 32-year-old defender took to social media to inform fans about the decision, before going on to thenk them for their support.
“I have reached an amicable agreement with Pahang FC to mutually terminate my contract for reasons which will remain confidential. It was an honour to play in Malaysia for Pahang FC for the last 3 years & experience being Club Captain,” a statement on his Instagram account read.
“Pahang have the best fans in Malaysia & are by far the best I have played for. Leaving here on excellent terms with the hierarchy, fantastic memories & many formed friendships. Good luck to all the staff & team for the rest of the season,” he added.
Zesh also revealed that he rejected a coaching role in Pahang earlier this season, though he did suggest that he’d love to come back to Pahang in future, should a similar offer arise.
“I would love a future return in a coaching role, something which was offered to me at the start of this season but was not the right moment for me. I will be back to visit my sons birth place of Kuantan,” he claimed.
The former Fulham player joined Pahang from Kitchee SC in 2013, going on to make 94 appearances for the club, scoring 13 goals throughout his time in Kuantan. He was also part of the squad that won the Malaysia Cup and Malaysia FA Cup in 2014.
