Mamelodi Sundowns new signing Sibusiso Khumalo says his move to Chloorkop was not motivated by money but by the desire to improve his soccer career and to face new challenges.

Khumalo is expected to start his new career at Sundowns on July 1 after serving Moroka Swallows for more than five years since arriving as a 14 year-old.

The midfielder tells KickOff.com that he can’t wait to wear the yellow and blue colours of Sundowns next season.

“It wasn’t about money to join Sundowns, my intention to leave Swallows was motivated by my desire to face new challenges,” Khumalo says.

“I have been at Swallows for a long time and I needed a new environment to grow as a player.

“I think the move to Sundowns will give me a chance to compete with the best players and then I will be able to judge just how good a player I am,” he adds.

Khumalo is likely to compete with the likes of Ezrom Nyandoro, Hlompho Kekana and Thamsanqa Sangweni for a central midfield position at Chloorkop.

“I am not afraid of competition. This is another reason I joined Sundowns because I wanted to compete with the best players,” he says.

The 22 year-old adds that he is sad to leave the Dube Birds as he really enjoyed playing for them.

“I am sorry to the Swallows supporters for what has happened. The move happened so fast but the club will always remain special in my heart as it contributed a lot to my soccer career,” he adds.
