Mamelodi Sundowns have secured the services of winger Aubrey Ngoma from Cape Town City in a deal said to be worth R8 million.

Masandawana finally reached an agreement with the Citizens for the services of the former Orlando Pirates winger, with the deal said to be in the region of R8 million.

The Chloorkop-based outfit revealed that personal terms would be agreed upon, based on the completion of Ngoma”s medical with the club.

Benni McCarthy”s side penned a statement thanking Ngoma for his service to the club.

“The club would like to thank Aubrey for his service to the rise of Cape Town City,” read a statement by

“When we first signed Aubrey we had an understanding that he would return to his family in Gauteng.

“We convinced him to stay an extra year, but he was unable to contribute due to an unfortunate series of injuries and surgeries.

“With this we decided this was the time for his move home. We wish him the best and are grateful for the great memories he built with Cape Town City!”

“The deal had been delayed from last season in order to prepare adequate replacements and correct timing for Cape Town City.

“The deal comes with an astronomical transfer fee and the club has begun reinvesting in new acquisitions for both the January and June transfer windows,” the statement concluded.

The 28-year-old is expected to compete with the likes of George Lebese, Keletso Makgalwa and Themba Zwane for a spot in Pitso Mosimane’s starting XI.

The deal comes off the back of centre-back Kwanda Mngonyama”s move to City, which was confirmed earlier on Friday, with the Mother City outfit revealing it as a deal on it”s own.

The 28-year-old left-footed winger missed a large chunk of the current campaign after undergoing knee surgery in the off-season, but has since returned to notch up one goal and an assist in just three starts so far.
