“Joining Mamelodi Sundowns is both a privilege and a significant responsibility,” he shared with Sundowns magazine. “It means becoming part of a Club with a proud history, a culture of success, and values rooted in dedication and teamwork.
“This is a chance to develop, learn, and play a role in the growth of such an outstanding organization.
“I aim to give my best through hard work, both in training sessions and during matches. I want to help the team secure trophies, maintain top-level performance, and make a meaningful contribution on the field. I hope to grow together with the Club, inspire my teammates to reach higher, and leave a lasting, positive mark for Sundowns and its fans.”
The Portuguese midfielder also shared his thoughts on the Premier Soccer League giants' facilities, the club coach and also his new teammates.
“When I first arrived at Chloorkop, I was genuinely impressed by the facilities, especially compared to my experiences in Europe,” he noted.
