SuperSport United have finally confirmed that Grant Margeman has completed a permanent transfer to the club ahead of the new PSL season.
This is despite Margeman insisting most recently that he is eager to return to the star-studded side Mamelodi Sundowns to fight for a place.
“For me, I’m always willing to go back to Sundowns. I would like to see what the coach says first,” said Margeman not so long ago.
“I have to hear from coach Rulani [Mokwena] his assessment of my loan spell, also what he thinks. He will have to see if I’m in his plans for next season or what, then take it from there.”
With Margeman sealing a three-year deal at SuperSport from Sundowns, it is safe to state that he is not part of Mokwena’s plans.
In order to get more game time and confidence, the highly-rated midfielder spent the last two seasons out on loan following a move to Sundowns three years ago. At the Tshwane giants, he failed to break into the side.
MARGEMAN PENS THREE-YEAR DEAL AT SUPERSPORT
Margeman spent the 2021/22 season at Swallows before impressing in SuperSport colours last campaign.
The 25-year was instrumental as SuperSport finished the 2022/23 season in third place on the DStv Premiership to qualify for the CAF Confederations Cup.

As a result of his efforts on the pitch, central midfielder walked away with the Player’s Player Award at SuperSport’s end-of-season awards ceremony.
SuperSport head coach, who is very fond of the player will be pleased that the former Ajax Cape Town man has committed to the Tshwane-based team until 2026.
Margeman’s move to SuperSport United was part of the deal that saw Sundowns sign Thapelo Maseko from Matsatsantsa.
Grant Margeman remains at the club on a three-year permanent deal. He’s here to stay,” said SuperSport in a brief statement on Thursday.
