Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Andile Jali pulled off an extraordinary transfer to Moroka Swallows FC for the upcoming 2023/24 DStv Premiership season.

At 33-years-old, Jali had been without a club since parting ways with Sundowns by mutual agreement following the January transfer window. He found himself sidelined from the squad during that time.

Orlando Pirates, AmaZulu, Royal AM, and Cape Town City were all reportedly interested in securing his services.

However, it became evident that Swallows would make their move once Steve Komphela was appointed as head coach.

“I’m very happy to announce that Andile Jali will be joining Moroka Swallows,” Swallows chairman David Mogashoa stated.
