Sasere posted on social media: “While it pains me to bid you all farewell, it troubles me to say I just came here on loan from a different club.
“Hamrun Spartans is very special to me, and I’m as sad as you are that I’m leaving. But the most important thing is not how long I stayed, but the footprints, the legacy, the history we both made to be crowned the Champions of the BOV Premier League.
“I say goodbye to a magnificent club as it is Hamrun Spartans. Let me take this moment to acknowledge the deep gratitude I have for the president, the coaches, staff, administration, and the players.
“Thank y’all for your kindness & unwavering support. And to the fans that have supported me since the first day I wore this jersey, thank you all. I love you guys from the bottom of my heart. Wish you the best.”
