Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sipho Mbule has officially secured a season-long loan move to Sekhukhune United. The 26-year-old player learned that his game-time would be limited this season, prompting late interest from Sekhukhune as the transfer window drew to a close.
Reports earlier this week confirmed that Sekhukhune United submitted a loan offer to Sundowns, which the club approved, pending Mbule’s agreement to the transfer. Reliable sources now indicate that the final agreement has been reached, with Mbule set to report to Sekhukhune tomorrow on deadline day. This move represents a surprising turn of events for the former SuperSport United midfielder, who aims to secure regular game time and reignite his career in the Premier Soccer League.
Mbule’s performance at Sundowns
Since joining Sundowns from SuperSport United in July 2022, Mbule has made 51 appearances, scoring three goals and providing one assist. His technical abilities make him a valuable asset, and he will look to make a significant impact at Sekhukhune United this season.

Nevertheless, Stellenbosch remained resolute, opting to keep Adams and other essential players as the window neared its closing deadline.
