Gift Motupa said joining Mamelodi Sundowns was the main choice for him due to the club’s willingness to compete in the CAF Champions League.
In recent months, Motupa’s move to Sundowns circulated and last week, the club made it official. He would join the force of new recruit – Peter Shalulile and others.
Motupa said he is looking forward to winning trophies and secure his spot as one of the country’s top marksman.
“That’s what encourages me the most here at Sundowns because every year the team plays in the Champions League and it is a great experience that every player want,” Motupa told Choice FM.
“Sundowns are a big club and when you go there you know that there is quality because everybody who is playing for Sundowns is good, so you must always be up for the challenge and I think I am ready for the challenge to make sure that I work hard to be in the first 110.”
“The coach spoke to me and he said, ‘boy you need to work hard to make sure that you are always fit so that you can play for Sundowns’. He said Sundowns need players who are disciplined and fit. What I am promising to the fans is that I am here to bang in goals, that is why they signed me and I am here to help the team to achieve more,” said the former Bidvest Wits and Orlando Pirates striker.
