Sundowns reach deal to sell Mzansi’s beloved superstar!

Mamelodi Sundowns and Wydad Athletic Club have reportedly reached an agreement over the permanent signature of Thembinkosi Lorch.

Lorch joined the Moroccan giants at the beginning of the year on a six-month loan deal.

At the time, Rulani Mokwena was in charge of the Botola Pro club. However, following his departure from the club, many believed Lorch’s time in Morocco was also up.

That wasn’t to be the case, with Lorch actually coming to the fore for Wydad after Mokwena’s departure.
