Mamelodi Sundowns have completed the signing of Bafana Bafana defender Terrence Mashego from Cape Town City.

In a video posted on the clubโ€™s social media platforms on Saturday afternoon looking back at the defenderโ€™s journey from Mamelodi, the Brazilians ended weeks of speculation.

Details of his move to Chloorkop were not immediately available but the highly-rated player joins Ronwen Williams, Sipho Mbule, Abubeker Nasir, Marcelo Allende and Bongani Zungu as the clubโ€™s latest recruits.

It is not easy to break into the Sundowns starting eleven because of their depth and quality and Mashego faces fierce competition from Lyle Lakay, Sifiso Ngobeni and Aubrey Modiba on the left side of the field.

Bafana coach Hugo Broos will be crossing fingers that Mashego gets enough game time as he is one of the key players for the senior national team that will be involved in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers next year.
