Flemming Berg's Clearout Continues! One of Pitso Mosimane's key players at Mamelodi Sundowns follows Thembinkosi Lorch, Rushine De Reuck and Lesiba Nku through Masandawana's exit door

SuperSport United have confirmed the signing of Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Lebogang Maboe ahead of the Tshwane Derby.

The highly regarded player was the focus of speculation during the recently ended January transfer window as he was tipped to leave the Brazilians.

Now, Sundowns have allowed Maboe to join their Tshwane rivals, SuperSport, on a loan until the end of the 2024/25 season.

“SuperSport United FC is pleased to confirm the signing of midfielder Lebohang Maboe from Mamelodi Sundowns (Loan) until the end of the season,” SuperSport stated.

The Bafana Bafana international was signed by then-Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane from Maritzburg United in 2018 and he became a key player for the Tshwane giants under Jingles.

Maboe's versatility has seen him feature in multiple positions in the team and his standout moment was the hat-trick he scored on the final day of the 2019/20 season against Black Leopards to secure the tenth PSL title for Sundowns and it proved to be Mosimane's last campaign with the club.

The Heidelberg-born forward follows in the footsteps of Rushine De Reuck and Lesiba Nku who have both left Sundowns this month, while Thembinkosi Lorch is also expected to leave soon.

Maboe will be hoping to make his SuperSport debut when Matsatsantsa take on AmaZulu in a league match on Saturday.

It remains uncertain if the player will be permitted to face his parent club in the Tshwane Derby on Wednesday.
