SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns have agreed terms for the permanent move of Bafana Bafana midfielder Teboho Mokoena with immediate effect for an undisclosed fee.

Mokoena joined the club’s academy in the 2014/15 season from Virginia (Harmony) Sports Academy and made an immediate impact in helping Matsatsantsa to win the Metropolitan Cup back to back and was promoted to the first team within the same season of making his DStv Diski Challenge debut against Bloemfontein Celtic.

He made his professional debut against Highlands Park and has since played just under 200 games for Matsatsantsa scoring over 20 goals.

The 24 -year-old played a crucial role in helping Matsatsantsa lift the MTN 8 and Nedbank Cup trophy twice and contributed immensely in SuperSport United’s historic CAF Confederations Cup journey, finishing as runners-up losing narrowly to DRC’s TP Mazembe in 2017.

Mokoena has also scooped many personal accolades including the 2020/21 goal of the season, three goal of the month and many more club awards.

The Bafana Bafana international has represented South Africa in all youth levels (U17, U20, and U23) and featured for the U23 side in 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in August having played all three games, scoring one goal.

The Bethlehem-born-player has been a regular starter for the senior side and played in all six 2022 World Cup Qualifier matches scoring two crucial goals and has just under 20 Bafana Bafana caps under his belt.

SuperSport United CEO Stanley Matthews, “Teboho has served our club with distinction since joining us in his mid-teens. He has helped us win four major trophies and has consistently delivered on and off the field of play which is why our Chairman Khulu Sibiya gave his blessing for this move.

He has made us proud by representing South Africa from Under 17 to the Under 23 Olympics team and now Bafana Bafana. He was PSL young player of the year and is a fantastic role model for young players to follow in how to manage a professional career in sport. As a young man he gives generously of his money and his time to the communities from where he grew up. He will remain a special son of our club alongside special names like Kamohelo Mokotjo, Daine Klate, Kermit Erasmus and Ronwen Williams.

While we are obviously very sad to lose him as a player, we are delighted for him that he has earned himself a big move to a great club and wish him the best of luck at this crossroads in his career. “
