Agent confirms Mamelodi Sundowns have offered February new contract as he targets Ronwen Williams’ number one spot - ‘This is an opportunity for Jody to fight for his place in the starting line-up’

Mamelodi Sundowns have offered goalkeeper Jody February a contract extension, with the club exercising their option to keep him for another year.

Hhis agent, Mike Makaab, stated that the new deal reflects the club’s belief in February’s ability and potential to grow.

The agent emphasised that this move means a lot for the shot-stopper as it gives him the opportunity to fight for a regular starting spot.

February is determined to keep working hard and repay the faith the club has shown in him.

The 28-year-old understands the competition at Sundowns is stiff, but remains focused on improving.

Makaab also thanked the technical team for their continued trust in his client.

February will now look to build on this momentum heading into the new season.

“Jody February will stay with Mamelodi Sundowns beyond the current season. He signed a one-year extension with the club,” Makaab said as reported by FarPost.

“This is an opportunity for Jody to fight for his place in the starting line-up at Sundowns. This season, he got some minutes, and it’s something to build on going forward. But also, we have to thank Sundowns for showing faith in him once again because he is a talented player.”

With Sundowns boasting elite goalkeeping options like Ronwen Williams and the vastly experienced Denis Onyango, Jody February finds himself as the club’s third-choice keeper.

However, in a club competing across multiple fronts—domestically and continentally—his presence adds much-needed depth.

Miguel Cardoso will benefit from having quality backups, especially when injuries or rotation come into play.

February’s extension is a smart move that ensures the goalkeeping department remains solid and competitive. It also provides the player with a platform to learn and develop alongside South Africa’s top talents.

Sundowns face Egyptian giants Pyramids FC at home in the first leg of the Caf Champions League final.

The team will aim to secure a convincing result before traveling for the second leg.

February will be hoping to make the matchday squad and support his teammates in this crucial encounter.
