Jody February On His Future With Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Jody February was on loan at Swallows FC this past season and says he’s still sitting home. He says he hasn’t spoken to Masandawana about his future at the club but hopes that there’s a plan for him to play football next season.

February also spoke about Ronwen Williams who’s said to be on his way to Downs. He says if the move materialize, he’s hoping to learn from the seasoned shot-stopper who’s also a captain of the national team.

“I have never talked to them (Sundowns) regarding my future or anything,” February told KickOff.com on Friday. “But I will see man, hopefully, something comes up this week, you hear these things every day (Sundowns being interested in Ronwen Williams).

“He will just add more quality, at the end of the day we are growing every day and it will be nice to learn new things from him. He is a Bafana Bafana international and Bafana Bafana number one now, he will just add value you know.

“Every player likes to play compared to sitting on the bench, but at the moment I don’t know the plans of the club you know, but soon I will know. I always wanted to play for the best team, just because I played last season at Swallows it doesn’t mean now I’m just going to come back to Sundowns and demand game time… That’s not who I am.

“I will have to wait and sit down with everyone and find a way forward between myself and my club. I’m not saying I will accept anything, but if there’s a certain plan in place because I’m still contracted to Sundowns. I have been home for three weeks now I haven’t really thought much about football.

“About the chances of me staying with Sundowns… at this stage, I don’t know boss. When the season starts we will have some direction I hope. We will see.”

SUPERSPORT UNITED CEO CONFIRMS WILLIAMS’ DEPARTURE?

It’s not a secret that Ronwen Williams might be a Brazilian next season. The player himself expressed a burning desire to play for SuperSport’s cross-town rivals. Now the club’s CEO Stan Matthews has admitted that their captain is likely to leave soon

“It’s never just a straight forward situation because there’s negotiations and discussions. There’s nothing that’s been advanced to any level that I can contretize right now, but once I’ve sat down with Gavin over the weekend and look at different permutations on how we can freshen up the team and what kind of replacements we can (get), then I will have a clearer picture in my own mind how viable the sale of Ronwen will be,” Matthews told media after a press conference where they unveiled Hunt as coach on Thursday.

“It’s likely that he will leave, but as I say, it’s something that I’ve got to sit down and discuss with Gavin. If we can’t get the right replacement… Gavin is very strong on the spine of the team and that starts with the keeper. Ronwen is the national team goalkeeper and he is our most capped player. He is our captain and our poster child. He is our longest serving player, so it’s not a normal trading of a player.”
