Veteran defender Marc van Heerden announced his retirement from professional football on X on Sunday evening.
“I officially retire from the game that has given me everything. I came into this game as boy and leave as a man, 20 years on and I start my coaching journey,” Van Heerden wrote on X.
The 36-year-old Van Heerden spent the last two seasons at Cape Town City having joined them from Cape Winelands side Stellenbosch FC.
Johannesburg-born Van Heereden also played for AmaZulu, Orlando Pirates, Chippa United and the University of Pretoria.
