SuperSport United have confirmed the signing of Senegalese international striker Serigne Mamour Niang on an 18 month deal with an option to renew.

The 24-year-old previously played for Senegalese outfit Teungueth FC and helped them to win the league in the 2020/21 season before securing a move to Matsatsantsa. His arrival could see the exit of Thamsanqa Gabuza to Stellenbosch FC.

SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt on the new signing, “We wanted to bring in a younger striker to compliment the experience we have upfront. Niang is a typical number nine and he will be able to take off some of the work load in our strike force. His aerial power is going to cause teams problems and I’m looking forward to pushing him to higher levels.”

Serigne Niang adds, “I am very excited to join SuperSport United. Mame Niang told me that coach Gavin Hunt is like a father to all of his players and he’s pushed me to work hard during all of our training sessions. I’m looking forward to meeting all the Matsatsantsa supporters.”
