AC Leon Overview

The Brazilians have pulled off one of the most intriguing moves of the transfer window by securing the services of the midfielder following his departure from Amakhosi. The 29-year-old finds himself at a career crossroads, moving from Naturena to the reigning African champions after a difficult spell at the Soweto club.

The Brazilians have finally got their man after months of speculation, and denials from Polokwane City that the 27-year-old Bafana Bafana right back was on his way to Chloorkop. Rumours reached fever pitch this week after Thabang Matuludi was spotted at a Gauteng airport on his way to complete his medical.

The highly-rated coach has given the much-needed update on when the Bafana Bafana winger is likely to make his first appearance for the Soweto giants in the 2026/27 season. The 21-year-old is on a season-long loan with Bucs after a challenging spell in Saudi Arabia.

The Chilli Boys tactician has expressed cautious optimism ahead of his side’s daunting league fixture against the Brazilians. While the KuGompo City-based side have proven difficult to beat in recent weeks, the coach is fully aware that his side must sharpen their edge in front of goal to stand a chance against the continental giants.
