Mamelodi Sundowns have officially confirmed the signing of South African international Jayden Adams from Premier Soccer League rivals Stellenbosch FC. The move marks the defending Betway Premiership champions’ first acquisition of the January transfer window, as they look to bolster their squad and maintain their dominance in South African football.
Sundowns had been tracking Adams for quite some time, with interest in the midfielder dating back to the previous summer transfer window. However, despite the club’s strong pursuit, Stellenbosch FC was reluctant to sell one of their key players at that stage, meaning the transfer did not materialize at the start of the season.
After months of negotiation, Sundowns have now succeeded in bringing the talented 24-year-old to Pretoria, reinforcing their midfield options for the second half of the season. The addition of Adams is seen as a crucial move by Sundowns as they look to secure another league title and continue their pursuit of success in multiple competitions.
Throughout the summer, Adams was also linked with other top South African clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, both of whom were eager to add him to their ranks. However, in a significant coup for Sundowns, Adams has chosen to join the Pretoria-based giants, further strengthening their already formidable squad.
Adams’ arrival is expected to provide fresh depth and quality to the Sundowns midfield, offering both creativity and stability as the club chases their third consecutive Premiership title and other domestic and continental honors. With the club still in contention in the CAF Champions League and the Nedbank Cup, the signing of Adams is a statement of intent as Sundowns aim to continue their domestic dominance while also competing on the African stage.
By securing Adams, Sundowns have further solidified their standing as one of the most ambitious and successful clubs in South African football, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to building a squad capable of competing at the highest level. This move is just the first of what many fans and experts expect to be a busy and exciting transfer window for the Pretoria-based club.
