Ex-Mamelodi Sundowns skillful star finally joins PSL club officially for the 2024/2025 season.
Former Cape Town City FC veteran Surprise Ralani has signed with Motsepe Foundation Championship team Hungry Lions. This move marks a significant new chapter in Ralani’s career, as he looks to make an impact in his home province.
Before joining Lions, Ralani played for Cape Town Spurs in the Betway Premiership last season. The 37-year-old midfielder boasts an impressive resume, having spent eight seasons in Europe with clubs like Helsingborgs IF, IFK Hässleholm, Landskrona BoIS, and Lyngby BK. His wealth of experience will be invaluable for his new team.
Ralani’s rollercoaster stint at CT Spurs
Ralani’s time at Cape Town Spurs featured ups and downs. After leaving Mamelodi Sundowns, he signed a one-year deal with the Urban Warriors but departed just two months later due to personal issues. “I asked to be released from my contract,” he explained. Despite this setback, he returned to help Spurs fight relegation, only to leave again after four months.
Training with Hungry Lions for the past week, Ralani has reportedly signed a one-year contract with the team. This move brings him back to his roots, as Hungry Lions are based in the same province where he was born. Fans are excited to see how his presence will bolster the team’s performance.
Mixed start for Hungry Lions in the Championship
Ralani joins a Hungry Lions squad that has experienced a mixed start to the 2024/25 Motsepe Foundation Championship season, winning two, drawing two, and losing two of their first six matches. Currently, they sit in eighth place on the log, six points behind league leaders Milford FC.
Hungry Lions will face Pretoria Callies at home on Saturday, 19 October, as the Motsepe Foundation Championship resumes this weekend. With Ralani’s experience and leadership, fans hope the team will turn their fortunes around and climb up the league standings.
By joining Hungry Lions, Surprise Ralani aims to leverage his extensive experience to elevate the team’s performance and inspire younger players. The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one for both Ralani and the Hungry Lions.
