The 30 year-old former Orlando Pirates striker had his best ever season in the Absa Premiership in the 2019/20 campaign, netting 13 times, and is not set to further bolster the strike force of the three-time reigning Absa Premiership champions, who have also recently signed Peter Shalulile from Highlands Park.

Sundowns have been on a spending spree, also snapping up Mothobi Mvala from Highlands, and Ricardo Goss, Haashim Dominbo and Gift Motupa from Bidvest Wits, while Aubrey Modiba joined on Fridau from SuperSport United.
