Gaborone United's (GU) favourite, Obonwe Maome could leave the club after 12 years of service, Mmegi Sport has learnt. ‘Too Longer’ joined the Money Machine from the development structures as a teenager and is on the verge of ending his more than a decade-long stay as his contract has come to an end.

The midfielder has seen his stature in the team diminish while his progress was hampered by injuries this season. Maome was restricted to a squad member role throughout this season and has reportedly been deemed surplus to requirements, but talks are ongoing on his future.

The 29-year-old has a league title, two Orange FA Cups and two Mascom Top 8 honours during his tenure with the Money Machine. He led the assist rankings with 19 as GU won their first league championship in 13 years in the 2021–2022 season.
