Mamelodi Sundowns head coach, Miguel Cardoso, is adamant that the club’s new signing Jayden Adams will have to prove that he deserves to play in the star-studded team, saying he won’t hand out gifts to anyone.

The Bafana Bafana international joined Masandawana from Stellenbosch FC on a three-and-a-half-year deal, which was confirmed on Saturday.

While he is expected to find his feet quickly at Chloorkop, Cardoso said the midfielder won’t be rushed.

“We believe in our players and anyone who joins this group has to prove himself. It is for Jayden and anyone else, we won’t give gifts to no-one,” Cardoso said after his side qualified for the Caf Champions League quarterfinals with their 1-1 draw with AS FAR at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday.

Downs finished second in group B with nine points, behind FAR (10).

“They will have to rise and show they are better than all players and then we will see. So, Jayden and anyone joining the group must prove themselves,” he added.

Sundowns return to domestic action with their Betway Premiership match against Magesi FC at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday (7.30pm). Written by Ntsako Mkhari
