Zwane, the talismanic attacking midfielder, has extended his stay at Sundowns by one year, the club announced on Saturday, 10 August 2024. The Bafana Bafana international has been the heartbeat of Sundowns’ attacking play. He has amassed over 400 appearances, scored 80 goals and provided 59 assists.
His contributions have been instrumental in securing multiple trophies for Sundowns. These include seven league titles and the prestigious 2016 CAF Champions League crown. Captain Zwane has been at Chloorkop since 2011. He joined the club from amateur outfit Vardos FC.
“We are delighted to announce that our captain, Themba Zwane, has signed a 1-year extension with The Brazilians.”
TEBOHO MOKOENA SIGN FIVE-YEAR DEAL WITH SUNDOWNS
Mokoena, a rock at the heart of the Sundowns midfield, has signed a five-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2029.
Since joining Sundowns from SuperSport United in 2022, Mokoena has been a revelation. His defensive prowess, attacking instincts, a knack for long-range goals, and good passing ability have been pivotal to the PSL champions’ success.
“We are delighted to confirm that midfielder Teboho Mokoena has signed a contract extension until 2029,” reads the club statement. The 27-year-old Bafana Bafana midfielder’s new contract comes after media reports linked him with lucrative offers from the Gulf region.
