Sekhukhune United Open to Extending Sipho Mbule’s Stay

Sekhukhune United could extend the stay of Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sipho Mbule beyond the current season, despite there being no purchase option in his loan agreement.

Mbule joined Sekhukhune on a season-long loan deal and has quickly become an integral part of the team’s midfield. Sources suggest that both the player and the club would consider a longer partnership if Sundowns decide not to reintegrate him into their squad at the end of the campaign.

A Rising Star at Sekhukhune

The 26-year-old has already made five appearances across all competitions for Sekhukhune, contributing one goal. His performances have not only impressed his teammates and fans but have also caught the attention of Bafana Bafana selectors, earning him a spot in the preliminary squad recently.

Head coach Kaitano Tembo is reportedly a big admirer of Mbule and is eager to retain him should the opportunity arise. “Sipho has shown great commitment and skill since joining the club,” an insider shared. “He’s a player who fits well into the team’s dynamic, and the coach would love to have him beyond this season.”

Uncertain Future at Sundowns

While Mbule has thrived at Sekhukhune, his future at Sundowns remains uncertain. The Pretoria-based club boasts a highly competitive midfield roster, and decisions on player retention will likely depend on their movements in the transfer market.

Mbule, who previously played for SuperSport United before joining Sundowns, has faced stiff competition for game time at Chloorkop. However, his stint at Sekhukhune has given him a platform to reignite his career and showcase his abilities.

Decision Pending

Both Sekhukhune and Mbule must wait until the end of the season to determine his next steps. For now, the midfielder is focused on continuing his strong form and helping Sekhukhune achieve their objectives in the Betway Premiership.

As the season progresses, the possibility of Mbule’s extended stay at Sekhukhune will remain a storyline to watch closely. Whether it’s a return to Sundowns or a permanent move to Sekhukhune, Mbule’s performances this season will undoubtedly shape his future.
