Mamelodi Sundowns have beaten stiff competition from their bitter rivals to secure the signature of Stellenbosch FC and Bafana Bafana midfielder Jayden Adams.

Sundowns announced the signing of the 23-year-old star who has been with Stellies’ senior team since 2020 after being promoted from their junior ranks.

"Bafana Bafana international, Jayden Adams has joined the Home of the 14-times Champions on a 3.5-year deal," Sundowns wrote on their social media pages.

The highly rated player was reported to be on the radar of Orlando Pirates, who are in a massive Betway Premiership battle with Sundowns, while Kaizer Chiefs have also been mentioned a few times as well.

The player leaves the Winelands outfit having played at least 139 games for the club in the Premier Soccer League.

Last season he played a crucial part in helping Stellies to win the Carling Knockout, their first trophy in the top tier

He is set to be a valuable addition to the Miguel Cardoso-coached Sundowns with his versatility.

The young midfielder can be used as a defensive or central option in the midfield, while he also can play as a left wing and an attacking midfielder.
