Mamelodi Sundowns Seal Permanent Deal for Katlego Ntsabeleng from FC Dallas
Mamelodi Sundowns have officially confirmed the permanent signing of midfielder Katlego ‘Tsiki’ Ntsabeleng from FC Dallas, exercising their purchase option after a successful loan spell. The African champions announced that the attacking midfielder has signed a long-term deal, strengthening their squad ahead of the new season.
Ntsabeleng, who joined Sundowns on loan last season, quickly made his mark with consistent performances in the Betway Premiership and continental competitions. His statistics speak volumes: 14 matches, 3 goals, and 1 assist for Masandawana, showcasing his ability to contribute both creatively and decisively in the final third.
The 27-year-old’s versatility in midfield has been a major asset, allowing Sundowns to rotate effectively while maintaining attacking fluidity. His energy, vision, and technical skill have earned him praise from teammates and supporters alike, making his permanent acquisition a logical step for the club.
For Ntsabeleng, the move represents a homecoming of sorts. Having developed his career abroad in Major League Soccer, he now returns to South Africa with valuable international experience. His time at FC Dallas sharpened his tactical awareness and adaptability, qualities that Sundowns will look to harness as they aim to dominate both domestically and in the CAF Champions League.
In their official statement, Sundowns declared: “It’s official! Katlego Ntsabeleng has made his move permanent and will continue his journey in Yellow.” The message underscores the club’s excitement at securing his services and signals the start of a new chapter for both player and team.
