The 27-year-old former Bidvest Wits midfielder made his way to Masandawana three seasons ago as he joined with the likes of Clever Boys teammates, goalkeeper Ricardo Goss as well as hitman Gift Motupa.
While the rules indicate that Domingo’s camp will look to find a club for him in the next transfer window which opens next month, Sundowns may still open fresh talks and possibly retain him.
Looking at his contribution, the talented midfielder featured in more than 50 appearances for Sundowns, netting five goals including six assists.
