Mamelodi Sundowns have won the race to sign TS Galaxy midfielder Bathusi Aubaas, the club confirmed on Wednesday.

The Bafana Bafana midfielder becomes the latest high-profile addition to The Brazilians’ squad having been snapped up ahead of their DStv Premiership opener against Sekhukhune United on Friday.

The 28-year-old is coming off an excellent campaign for Galaxy, where he spent five seasons, the last three of which have been in the topflight. He was previously on the books of Free State Stars, but barely featured for Ea Lla Koto.

“One thing I want to achieve is win a lot of titles, I am not here to relax, I am here to work and learn. I am here to compete,” Aubaas said.

He was handed his Bafana Bafana debut in the 2-1 Africa Cup of Nations victory over Morocco in Morocco on the strength of his performances last season.

Aubaas joins Thapelo Maseko (SuperSport United), Junior Mendieta (Stellenbosch), Lesiba Nku (Marumo Gallants) and Lucas Ribeiro (Beveren, Belgium) as new signings at the club in this transfer window.
