Mamelodi Sundowns to send Zimbabwean striker back home

Mamelodi Sundowns intend sending transfer listed striker Simba Sithole back to his former club Caps United in Zimbabwe, after he was deemed excess to requirements just a year after being signed.

Sithole signed a five-year contract last year but has not played a single game, as he spent all his time either in the stands or battling with a hamstring injury.

KickOff.com has now been told that Sundowns have been in constant communication with struggling Caps and have reached an agreement for a reverse transfer of the 21-year-old.

The only potential glitch is how Sithole will complete his move back to Caps as the transfer window in Zimbabwe has already closed, leaving the option of a loan or club-to-club transfer out, unless a special agreement can be reached with the Zimbabwean PSL authorities.

At the moment Sithole still has four years remaining on his contract with Sundowns and must reach a settlement with the club first if he is to move on a free transfer.

Sithole recently tried his luck at University of Pretoria but failed to win a move to the PSL newboys and will remain at risk of not playing competitive football for another six months if he fails to find an immediate exit route from Sundowns.
