Former Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper secures a deal at Mamelodi Sundowns after months of training with the club.
After parting ways with Moroka Swallows at the end of the 2022/2023 season, Sanele Tshabalala joined Sundowns to try and land a contract at the club.
While Transfrmarkt report on their website that the 26-year-old former Pirates development player joined the club in August 2023, Soccer Laduma reported that the player was still trying to land a deal at the club back in February this year after he was spotted training with the first team at Chloorkop.
With uncertainty surrounding his future with Sundowns, the former Chiefs star appears to have signed a contract with the club after he was on the bench for the club’s Dstv Premiership encounter against TS Galaxy.

The fierce battle ended 1-1 after star striker Peter Shalulile cancelled Puso Dithejane’s strike to continue Sundowns’ unbeaten run in the league to 29 matches this season.
