Mamelodi Sundowns have made a significant move in the transfer market, securing the services of striker Iqraam Rayners from Stellenbosch FC. The 27-year-old has signed with the Brazilians, signalling the club’s intent to maintain their dominance in domestic and continental competitions.

Iqraam Rayners: Proven Goalscoring Prowess

Rayners‘ arrival at Sundowns is a major boost for their attacking line. He finished the previous season with an impressive tally of 15 goals, earning him a call-up to the national team, Bafana Bafana. His standout performance included a remarkable five-goal haul in a single league match against Polokwane City, a feat rarely seen in the Premier Soccer League era.

Sundowns’ Faith in Rayners

Rayners’ exploits from last season have convinced Sundowns that he is the ideal player to spearhead their pursuit of further glory in the upcoming season. Head coach Manqoba Mngqithi expressed his confidence in the new signing, stating, “We believe Iqraam has the potential to be a key player for us. He is a proven goalscorer with a strong work ethic, and we are excited to see him in action for Mamelodi Sundowns.”

Rayners Joins Sundowns: Strengthening an Already Formidable Attack

The acquisition of Rayners further strengthens an already formidable Sundowns attack. The Brazilians already boast a wealth of talent in their forward line, including the likes of Peter Shalulile and Thapelo Morena. Rayners’ arrival will provide healthy competition for places and ensure that Sundowns maintain their attacking prowess.

Conclusion

The signing of Iqraam Rayners is a statement of intent from Mamelodi Sundowns. The club is clearly determined to remain at the pinnacle of South African football and make a significant impact on the continental stage. With Rayners’ goalscoring prowess added to their already potent attack, Sundowns will be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.
