Mamelodi Sundowns have told one of their players to stop training with the first team, but are working behind the scenes to find him another club.
Mamelodi Sundowns have told one of their players to stop training with the first team, but are working behind the scenes to find him another club.
The Siya crew has been led to believe that Jody February is closing in on a move to Swallows on a season-long loan deal, with the Brazilians doubling up their efforts to make sure the goalkeeper is settled before the new campaign.
Indications are that Downs do still see February, 25, as a future prospect given that both Denis Onyango and Kennedy Mweene are in the twilight of their careers and will soon retire.
As confirmed by his agent Mike Makaab to the Siya crew earlier this year, the player had asked to go out on loan in the middle of the previous season in search of regular game-time – but the timing meant there weren’t a lot of suitors.
Now, it’s understood Sundowns are determined to see to it that February finds a club before the 2021/22 season kicks off sometime next month.
He and several other fringe players at Downs have been offered to Swallows either permanently or on loan, and it’s expected that a decision on their futures will be made in the coming weeks.
February signed for the Brazilians two years ago, but spent the first of those two seasons on loan at Cape United before he moved to Chloorkop last year.
He is still yet to make an appearance for Downs, although he was twice named on the substitutes bench during the 2020/21 campaign.
