Former Orlando Pirates defender Benson Mhlongo believes midfielder Khethokwakhe Masuku left the Soweto giants because he did not receive proper guidance.
Masuku joined Pirates from Black Leopards at the beginning of the 12/13 season and spent three seasons at the club before leaving straight for lower division side Royal Eagles.
After just a season at Eagles, Masuku returned to play Premier Soccer League (PSL) football with Bloemfontein Celtic for one and a half seasons.
But Mhlongo feels the midfielder prematurely left Pirates where he could have made more of an impact had he stayed.
