TS Galaxy midfielder Bathusi Aubaas sat in the stands when the club’s 2023/24 squad was introduced, and there is a major update on his future.
The Rockets unveiled their new signings and the whole team for the season on Sunday. The 28-year-old has recently been linked with moves to Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Sundowns.
FARPost has since gathered that Mamelodi Sundowns have won the race for his signature. The Rockets have sold the Bafana Bafana midfielder to the defending DStv Premiership champions.

When asked about Aubaas, the club’s president Tim Sukazi confirmed his departure but declined to reveal his next destination.
“Yes, Aubaas is here, but of course, we didn’t bring him up. It means that we as TS Galaxy have found a new home for him,” said Sukazi.
“So I will wait for our sister club that has secured his future to make the announcement. He has done well for the club and his departure is a painful one and also an emotional one.”

“If you remember, he was part of the crew that won the Nedbank Cup. But then, if you remember, we are a club that affords opportunities for growth for our players. Our business model speaks to exactly that.
“The most important thing is that a club like Galaxy has to produce players for our own clubs and the national teams as well. It is very important that we also play that role,” explained Sukazi.
“It is difficult to play the balancing act because we also want this team to win the league. But players that have been here and left have also played for the national team. I have said it so many times that Aubaas was ready for the national team.”
Striker Junior Traoré is another player that was missing in action on Sunday. FARPost has also gathered that he could be heading to Europe.
