Tebogo Langerman, a veteran wingback who previously played for Mamelodi Sundowns, has joined Swallows FC. Langerman has signed a one-year contract with Swallows, with the option to extend it for another year, according to the Dobsonville-based club.

Swallows used social media to introduce the 35-year-old defender, who has been playing in the Premier Soccer League since 2009.

According to reports, Langerman, 35, demanded guarantees from the Downs technical team that his game time would improve in the forthcoming season, but it's believed he didn't get any after those meetings, according to SoccerLaduma.

The South African reports that Langerman's addition has surely given the Swallows, who finished in the top eight last season, more experience.

His exit from Sundowns, on the other hand, will come as a shock given the length of years he has spent with the club. Langerman completed nine years with Sundowns, winning a slew of accolades along the way, including five league titles.

Last season, his future with Sundowns was in jeopardy due to his lack of game time under both Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena.
