Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams opens up about overseas offers after signing new Mamelodi Sundowns deal

Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has opened up about overseas offers after he was tipped to leave the South African champions.&nbsp; Williams' future at Downs has been the subject of much speculation in recent months following an outstanding performance in continental and club football.&nbsp; However, the former SuperSport United captain has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/ronwen-williams-mamelodi-sundowns-move-switfly-to-extend-bafana-bafana-captain-s-contract-amid-reported-saudi-arabian-interest/blt7dfe69681e09e242" target="_blank">recently signed a contract extension </a>that will keep him at the Brazilians until June 2028.&nbsp; In his recent interview, the&nbsp;Gqeberha-born player outlined his reasons for staying at the storied club.&nbsp;

WHAT HAPPENED?

“I think if that was to materialise it should have happened after AFCON, I think that was the perfect moment but nothing concrete came my way, or anything my [agent] or club brought up, so why not stay at Mamelodi Sundowns,” Williams said, as quoted by<a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/dstv-premiership/williams-on-overseas-ambition-and-club-world-cup-stage/" target="_blank"> iDiski Times.&nbsp;</a>“We’re looking for great things, being part of the FIFA Club World Cup, they gave me the platform, I’m happy at the club.''I signed a new deal long may this continue, the achievements, the success, and even the heartbreak. That builds us and fuels us to go even harder the next season,'' he said.''So I’m looking forward to it, I’m happy at Sundowns and I’m looking forward to the Club World Cup. but if something happens and the club is happy, so be it.''

WHAT WILLIAMS SAID

''It’s been amazing, I’ve enjoyed every moment, I don’t think I’ve had any higher moments than this, and it’s happened back-to-back-to-back, and all the sacrifices I have made, it’s finally paying off,” Williams added.''Long may this continue [for Sundowns and Bafana Bafana], it’s just for me to remain the person I am, being humble, working hard and believing in God. ''This Cosafa honour will just give me extra energy to go even further, to take Bafana to the next level in the qualifiers in the World Cup, to be at the next Afcon again, to be in the Champions League final, we’re going to get there,'' he explained. ''All these setbacks we have, it’s fueling me for even greater things to come, so hopefully this trophy and more trophies to come in the next few weeks and the qualifiers and setbacks of the semi-finals of the Champions League.''It still feels like we were a few moments away from the final. All this I’m using to energise myself, to keep going, to push for even greater heights.''

WHAT'S MORE?

Williams joined the Tshwane giants from SuperSport in July 2022 and quickly established himself as the number one goalkeeper, displacing Denis Onyango.&nbsp;Since making that crosstown move, he has so far won three trophies consisting of<a href="https://www.goal.com/lists/official-mamelodi-sundowns-thump-kaizer-chiefs-to-claim-seventh-consecutive-psl-title/blt3abf8e8fd7ffeaf5" target="_blank"> two league titles </a>and the African Football League.&nbsp; The 32-year-old shot-stopper was<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/afcon-2023-award-winners-williams-bafana-bafana-among-those-recognised-by-caf/blt4b7d9e9976b23dce" target="_blank"> voted Goalkeeper of the Tournament </a>after helping Bafana Bafana win the bronze medal in Côte d'Ivoire.&nbsp; After all these great achievements, he was tipped to move to Europe, but the transfer never materialized.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It remains to be seen whether the three-time PSL Goalkeeper of the Season will move to Europe or not, as he explained he has not closed the door on going abroad.&nbsp; Williams is set to be included in Hugo Broos' squad for the upcoming Fifa World Cup qualifiers in June.
