Power Dynamos have confirmed in a statement the departures of midfielder Joshua Mutale and striker Andy Boyeli to Tanzania and South Africa respectively.
The two are among the 12 players leaving the Kitwe giants in the off-season.
Mutale leaves Power three seasons after he was promoted from the youth structures.
He joins Tanzanian giants Simba SC on a permanent deal as compatriot Cletus Chama departs the team to reportedly join their Dar es Salaam archrivals and defending league champions Young Africans.
Power also confirmed that Congo-born striker Boyeli has also left on a permanent move to South African PSL club Sekhukune United.
Boyeli arrived at Power in the second half of the 2022/2023 season from Chambishi FC where he netted 7 goals and later went on to score 12 goals for his new club that helped the Kitwe side clinch their seventh FAZ Super League title.
Also leaving Arthur Davies Stadium is Power captain and midfielder Godfrey Ngwenya who exits the Kitwe giants after eight years at the club he joined from Kabwe Warriors in 2017.
Ngwenya is heading to defending FAZ Super League champions Red Arrows also on a permanent move.
Also on the move is ex-Zanaco striker Moses Phiri who leaves after the end of his one-year deal.
The rest of the other off-season departures who have left on the expiry of their contracts are Chabu Chisenga, Kalonji Mwepu, Hamza Adama and White Mwanambaba.
Those who have left by mutual consent are Kouassi Kouadji, Lionel Bong and Laurent Muma.
The departures come after Power Dynamos failed to defend their league title last season which saw them finish third.
