CAPE TOWN CITY FC TO TRANSFER JODY AH-SHENE TO MAMELODi SUNDOWNS?
After three goals in 26 games for City, as well as five in 11 for South Africa’s U-20 national side, Ah Shene’s potential has convinced Sundowns to make a move.
According to Mazola Molefe, the 20-year-old striker from Ocean View, Cape Town, is on his way to Sundowns.
“SABC Sport can confirm that Jody Ah Shene’s long-anticipated move to Mamelodi Sundowns is back on track, with the transfer expected to be finalised before the close of the PSL registration window on Thursday night,” Molefe reported.
The report added to confirm that Sundowns and Cape Town City agreed on Ah Shene’s transfer in September, but the move was delayed to allow him more game time and improve his chances of making South Africa’s U20 World Cup squad.
The deal has now been revived, with the attacker expected to join Sundowns and go out on loan to AmaTuks.
