Mamelodi Sundowns has announced the signing of winger Thapelo Maseko from SuperSport United ahead of the 2023/24 season.
The 20-year-old had a stellar season with SuperSport in which he featured 25 times across all competitions while contributing to six goals, including four goals and two assists.
His performance under Gavin Hunt did not go unnoticed as he caught the eye of South Africa coach Hugo Broos and subsequently received a call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad.
Maseko has now become the Brazilians fourth signing behind Lesiba Nku from Marumo Gallants, Junior Mendieta from Stellenbosch FC, and Lucas Ribeiro Costa from Belgian outfit SK Beveren.
“Introducing Thapelo Maseko,” Sundowns announced on their official Twitter page.
“Masandawana, we are delighted to introduce the exciting Thapelo Maseko to our squad ahead of the new season.
✍ Introducing Thapelo Maseko!
