The former SuperSport United central midfielder has now explained the reason he chose Kabo Yellow.

“I think the move to Sundowns, it’s like Sundowns are a team that have dominated over the years, they have a lot of good players and what’s more is that they are competing at the highest level,” Mbule told Sundowns’ media as per Soccer Laduma.

“I was playing CAF at SuperSport but we didn’t qualify for the next season and I’ve reached the final with them but I can do more with Sundowns.

“That is why I joined Sundowns, I want to play on the highest level and I want to win trophies.

“Winning trophies is a nice thing, it’s a nice feeling, it’s every player’s dream. It’s an achievement that you can look up to at the end of the day. I won two MTN8 with SuperSport United and I lost the [CAF] Confederations Cup final.

“Coming here to Sundowns, it’s like I am going to add more to my tally, from two to maybe more. I think I’m looking forward to playing with everyone because they have the best players and they are looking for the best players and I think what I am bringing to Sundowns is the talent that they saw at SuperSport,” he concluded.
