Happy Birthday to Mamelodi Sundowns Defender Rushine De Reuck!

Happy Birthday to Mamelodi Sundowns Defender Rushine De Reuck! The newest Brazilian turns 25 years old today.

De Reuck joined Sundowns from Maritzburg United in the recent January transfer window. The reigning PSL Defender of the Year is yet to make his debut for his new club.

However, De Reuck is extremely keen to make a start for Sundowns and potentially win trophies as of this season!

“It’s a step in the right direction for me, something I’ve always wanted, something I’ve worked hard towards. I’m excited to be part of this team. I know that I’ll get better and it gives me a lot of motivation to be here. I’m also a bit nervous but it’s normal when you are in a new environment.” De Reuck tells the Mamelodi Sundowns website.

“Sundowns have always had one of the best defences in the league since I’ve been playing in the DSTV Premiership so it’s no surprise that they are doing so well. It’s very hard to break them down and they concede very few goals, so they’ve been very impressive. I know it won’t be easy to break into the starting line-up because they’ve got really good players in my position but it’s a challenge I need to better myself. I know that I can contribute a lot, but I need to show it first.” He adds

De Reuck aims to settle into the squad and build on that. He will be keen to get as many appearances as he can in the second half of this season.

“My short term goal is to try and settle in as quickly as possible on and off the field, also I would like to break into the squad as soon as I can but I know that it won’t be easy. Having Cape Town boys makes things a bit easier you know, going to help me settle in about faster and I’ve also played with Lebo Maboe and Brian Onyango at Maritzburg United in the past so that helps me as well. Very happy to be here and can’t wait to contribute to this amazing club,” De Reuck concluded.
