    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ntsabeleng struggled for game time in the 2025 season in America, having made just 13 appearances for Dallas.

    Tsiki will compete with the likes of Marcelo Allende, Jayden Adams and Themba Zwane for a place in Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso's starting line-up.

    He had a stint with the Sundowns reserve team, working under coach David Notoane.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Ntsabeleng, who helped Chiefs win the DStv Diski Shield in 2018 under Arthur Zwane, is expected to be announced as Sundowns' new signing.

    Saturday's PSL clash against Stellenbosch FC in the Western Cape is likely to come too soon for Tsiki.
