Percy Tau has been spotted training with his former club, Mamelodi Sundowns FC. Reports from IOL indicate that the forward is currently using the Chloorkop facilities to maintain his physical condition after a period on the sidelines.
At 32 years old, the attacking midfielder is focused on keeping fit as he plans the next chapter of his playing career.
Maintaining Fitness or a Potential Deal?
At present, no official contract negotiations are taking place between the player and head coach Miguel Cardoso’s technical team. However, a potential signing has not been entirely ruled out by the club.
Tau appears comfortable back in familiar surroundings. He was recently seen in the VIP section alongside current squad members during Sundowns’ 3-1 defeat to USM Alger.
His return to training follows a recent social media post where he shared images of individual workouts. That post drew a notable comment from former Sundowns and current Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane, who replied: “The Return!!”
Following the Mailula Precedent
If Sundowns decide to offer Tau a contract, it would not be their first reunion this season.
The club previously re-signed Cassius Mailula after he initially trained with the first-team squad ahead of the current campaign. Aside from a minor error in a 1-1 draw against Wiliete SC in the CAF Champions League, Mailula has established himself as an impactful addition to the squad.
Tactical Context and Value
Percy Tau possesses extensive international experience. His career includes European stints with:
- Royale Union Saint-Gilloise
- Club Brugge
- Anderlecht
- Brighton & Hove Albion
He also brings valuable continental and regional experience from spells at Al Ahly, Qatar SC, and Nam Định FC.
With an estimated three to four seasons remaining at the top level, his international pedigree makes him an attractive prospect for local or overseas clubs. A potential return to Chloorkop would offer Sundowns proven quality in domestic and continental competitions.
