Former Sundowns star Tebogo Langerman joins PSL side at 39

Former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Tebogo Langerman has made a surprising comeback to professional football, signing with Motsepe Foundation Championship side Baroka FC.

The 39-year-old veteran had been without a club since leaving Moroka Swallows in early 2022 and was most recently a player-coach for ABC Motsepe League side Sunrise FC.

Langerman’s return to the pro ranks was officially announced by Bakgakga on Thursday. The move sees the seven-time PSL champion join the Limpopo-based club as they fight for promotion back to the Betway Premiership. Baroka FC was relegated from the top flight at the end of the 2021/22 season.

Langerman is best known for his highly successful tenure at Sundowns. In his decade at the club, he made 275 appearances and was a key part of one of the most dominant periods in South African football history. He was instrumental in helping Masandawana secure an impressive 10 trophies, including six league titles and the prestigious 2016 CAF Champions League.

In a career spanning multiple clubs, including SuperSport United and Bidvest Wits, the versatile defender has played a total of 370 matches. Now, he is set to bring his experience and leadership to the second tier as Baroka FC aims to reclaim its spot in the elite league.
