Maritzburg United have announced the signing of forward Jose Ali Meza from Mamelodi Sundowns on a two-year deal.
The Team of Choice attempted to acquire the Venezuelan ahead of last season, with the striker even spending time on trial with Eric Tinkler’s men ahead of a potential loan move.
However, the deal fell through and he returned to play a peripheral role with Masandwana during their domestic treble-winning campaign.
Maritzburg, though, did not give up on getting their man and, as was widely reported over the past few weeks, he finally joined on a two-year deal.
‘Welcome, José Alí Meza Meza has signed a two-year deal with the Team of Choice,’ the club announced in a brief social media statement.
