Peter Shalulile leaves Mamelodi Sundowns after contract expiry

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has officially departed the club following the expiry of his contract, bringing an end to a trophy-laden spell in South African football.

The Namibian international’s deal ran out on June 30, with both player and club agreeing not to activate an extension option that would have kept him at Chloorkop for a further year.

Shalulile, 32, leaves Sundowns after six successful seasons in which he established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in the Premier Soccer League, winning multiple league titles and domestic honours while consistently leading the club’s attack.

His exit follows weeks of speculation over his future, with uncertainty surrounding whether Sundowns would retain the forward beyond the end of his contract.

In the end, both parties opted to part ways, closing a chapter that saw him become a key figure in the club’s modern dominance.

The striker is now a free agent and expected to attract interest from clubs across Africa and the Middle East as he weighs up the next step in his career.

Shalulile’s departure marks one of the most significant exits at Sundowns in recent years, given his long-standing impact and reputation as one of the league’s standout goal scorers.
