South African forward Jody Ah Shene is being linked with a move to University of Pretoria (U. Pretoria), with the 21-year-old currently listed without a club and potentially available as a free agent.
Data from transfer specialists Transfermarkt records the centre-forward’s present side simply as “Unknown”, while simultaneously flagging a rumoured switch to the Pretoria-based outfit. The reported probability of the deal is left as “?”, underlining that discussions remain firmly in the speculative stage and no agreement has been confirmed.
Ah Shene’s status is further complicated by his most recent market valuation history. After reaching an estimated €100,000 while at Cape Town City FC, his value later dropped to €0 in December 2025, fuelling suggestions he may now be unattached and therefore able to move without a transfer fee. His current market value is officially listed as not available, adding another layer of uncertainty to negotiations and to any potential asking price.
Born on 1 February 2005, Ah Shene is a 1.78m centre-forward whose main position is through the middle in attack. A South African national, he progressed through the country’s domestic system, moving from Ubuntu Cape Town FC to Cape Town City FC Reserves in 2023, before stepping up to the Cape Town City FC first team in March 2024. He later departed City for an unspecified club, recorded again only as “Unknown”, in early 2026.
No recent competitive match data – including opponents, dates, scorelines or individual performances – is provided in the available records, leaving his current form and fitness unclear for would‑be suitors.
If U. Pretoria choose to act on this interest and a deal can be struck, the move could offer Ah Shene a fresh platform to re-establish his value and push his career back onto an upward trajectory within South African football.
