Ngcongca staying at Downs – agent
ANELE Ngcongca is not leaving Mamelodi Sundowns anytime soon. The highly experienced right-back is still contracted to Sundowns for another year according to his agent, Mike Makaab.
Sundowns are currently in pre-season camp in Botswana and Ngcongca is not there but Makaab has cleared the air regarding the future of the former Bafana Bafana player.
“There’ll always be interest in a player like Anele but he is not going anywhere.
“He will be playing his football at Sundowns next season,” Makaab explained yesterday.
Ngcongca featured consistently for Sundowns last season at rightback, the 31-year-old making 18 league appearances for the Brazilians.
“Anele was in Belgium this past weekend.
“He was invited by his former teammate who were playing in a benefit match.
“He is still contracted to Sundowns and is happy there,” he added.
Ngcongca enjoyed a nine year stay with Racing Genk in Belgium.
“His desire is to continue winning trophies with Sundowns. At the moment his focus is at Sundowns and we will see at the end of the season.” Makaab elaborated.
In his two year spell with Sundowns, the Gugulethu-born defender has won two league titles.
Makaab also gave the latest on the future of Jeremy Brockie.
“Sundowns paid a huge transfer fee for Brockie (when they signed him from SuperSport United) and that is a big challenge.
“Yes, there’s interest in him and Jeremy wants to play regularly.
“He is happy at Sundowns but he is unhappy about not getting game time.
“If something does happen, maybe it will be towards the end of the transfer window,” he added.
Sundowns are also set to complete the signing of Nyiko Mobbie.
“We’ve agreed on principle with Sundowns about Mobbie. We should conclude the deal by the end of this week,” Makaab said.
The versatile Mobbie who can play both as a centreback and leftback was at Free State Stars last season.
