Mamelodi Sundowns have finalized the signing of TS Galaxy center-back Khulumani Ndamane. The deal comes during a busy January transfer window for the Brazilians.
TS Galaxy confirmed the exit on Monday. This followed comments from chairman Tim Sukazi regarding the player’s departure. The club issued a formal statement to bid farewell to the defender. They praised his professionalism and commitment during his stay with the Rockets.
A Rapid Rise to Chloorkop
Ndamane’s journey to the champions is noteworthy. He joined TS Galaxy on a free transfer from Kaizer Chiefs last season. His consistent form in the heart of the defense quickly made him a key figure.
His domestic performances also caught the eye of national team scouts. Ndamane recently earned a spot in Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana squad for AFCON. This move to Sundowns marks a significant step in his professional growth.
Sundowns’ Strategic Recruitment
The Brazilians are moving aggressively in the market. Ndamane is the third confirmed arrival at Chloorkop this month. He follows the high-profile signings of Monnapule Saleng and Brayan Leon.
These moves highlight the club’s intent to reclaim their dominance. Sundowns currently sit second in the Betway Premiership. They are trailing Orlando Pirates, who hold the top spot in the standings.
Title Race Context
The battle for the league title is intensifying. Orlando Pirates have secured seven wins from 12 matches. Sundowns are looking to close that gap with these new additions.
Ndamane remained quiet about the transfer in recent weeks. His absence from the December match against Sundowns fueled speculation. Now, his move is official as he begins a new chapter under the Sundowns badge.
