Mamelodi Sundowns are determined to keep one of their homegrown talents
at the club for a longer period, the Siya crew can reveal. Sphelele
Mkhulise’s current contract with the DStv Premiership defending champions
is set to expire on June 30 this year, and sources have revealed that
Masandawana are in talks with the 26-year-old for a new deal.
Indications are that the Downs look set to offer the midfielder a two-year
contract with a one year option. A source close to the club has revealed
that coach Rulani Mokwena has made it clear that Mkhulise is in his plans,
and the club has offered him a two-year extension with an additional
one-year option.
As previously reported by PSLSA, Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs were
interested in the Sundowns academy graduate, and the log leaders have
acted to avoid losing the player on a free.
Mkhulise joined the club youth set-up in 2012 and was only promoted to the
senior team in 2018, spending two loan spells away from the club. Since
Mokwena’s appointment as head coach, the midfielder has seen more
game-time, with the Siya crew understanding that he has earned himself an
extended stay at the Tshwane giants.
