The Momentum Multiply Titans and Fidelity Titans bring the 2025/2026 season to a close with fond farewells to a number of contracted and high performance players across both the men’s and women’s programmes. The franchise expresses its deep gratitude to each player for their commitment, professionalism and the memories they have created wearing the sky blue.
Among the contracted men’s players departing is Neil Brand, who joined the sky blues in 2019 and has since become a cornerstone of the Titans set-up, including captaining the side during his time at the franchise. A top-order batsman who also made his mark with the ball this past season, Brand capped a fine 2025/2026 campaign with two Player of the Match awards in the One Day Cup. He will take his talents to Boland in the 2026/2027 season, where he will be joined by Proteas pace bowler Lizaad Williams. Williams, who arrived at the Titans in 2020/2021 and was named Player of the Year in that very first season, departs after six impactful years in Centurion, looking forward to returning home. Gerald Coetzee also moves on, having signed with the DP World Lions for the season ahead. Sibonelo Makhanya, the dependable right-hand batsman who has given six years of loyal service to the franchise since joining in 2020, will be heading to the Warriors for the 2026/2027 campaign. The Titans also say goodbye to Lesego Senokwane, who returns to the Knights after one season in Centurion, and to Junaid Dagwood, who also joins the Knights. The franchise thanks both players sincerely for their contributions.
From the High-Performance programme, the Titans bid farewell to Merrick Brett, Steve Stolk and Lesego Kokohlabana. All three are thanked for their hard work and dedication within the Titans development structures, and the franchise wishes them every success as they pursue the next steps of their cricketing careers.
On the women’s side, the Fidelity Titans say farewell to three players who have each left a meaningful imprint on the programme. Robyn Searle, who captained the Fidelity Titans and distinguished herself across both the Pro20 and Pro50 formats, will continue her career with the Hollywoodbets Dolphins in the 2026/2027 season. Gandi Jafta, a former captain and all-rounder who made her Titans debut in 2018, has had to bid farewell to the sport due to medical reasons. Her leadership, fighting spirit and lasting contribution to women’s cricket at the Titans will always be remembered and celebrated.
The franchise also extends its warmest wishes to Christelle van der Schyff and Samantha Schutte, who both depart the programme, and are thanked for everything they have given to Titans cricket.
The Titans family wishes all departing players the very best in the seasons ahead. Their contributions to the sky blue jersey will not be forgotten.
