Highly-rated midfielder Grant Margeman has had his wish granted after completing a permanent move ahead of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership season.
After joining Mamelodi Sundowns at the start of the 2020/21 season, he has spent the last two seasons away on loan. He spent the 2021/22 season at Swallows before starring for SuperSport United last season.
The Cape Town-born star made it clear he wanted a permanent move to focus on his game.
Margeman’s future has been the subject of speculation for a while as many clubs were looking to sign him.
The talented midfielder was discussed in the Stellenbosch FC corridors during the current transfer window. He was viewed as a player who could take over the midfield position in case Sibongiseni Mthethwa leaves the club. Mthethwa is on the radar of both Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs.
