Kwanda Mngonyama has penned a deal with Cape Town City, the club unveiled on Friday morning.

The 24-year-old will officially join the Citizens in the New Year, having spent the last four seasons on Mamelodi Sundowns payroll without ever playing a game for the Brazilians.

Mngonyama hasn't kicked a ball in anger all season and spent last season on-loan at Maritzburg United.

"When I heard there was a chance for City to land Kwanda I was instantly excited. Mngonyama is a soldier and probably one of the most promising defensive talents to come out of SA in a long time," City head coach Benni McCarthy is quoted as saying.
