Surprising news: De Reuck wants out of Mamelodi Sun Downs!
Rushine De Reuck spoke about his explicit desire to leave the team on loan and already after talking about his desire to leave, the player received a six-month loan contract with Maccabi Petah Tikva in Israel. It is expected that the player will continue with the team even after the loan expires.
The central defender's contract with the Israeli team includes a permanent purchase option, and it seems that it will be decided whether he will stay with the team permanently or not at the end of the current season, the veteran striker joined Masandawana in 2021 and enjoyed a lot of playing time until he came to suffer a lot of injuries and then reviewed his appearance.
After repeated injuries, he found that his condition would not change with the team, so he decided to go out on loan to get better opportunities with another team.
Speaking with FARPost, the 29-year-old said:
I thought my situation may not change, so I engaged with the SD Sporting Director Flemming Berg who was very accommodating and understood, I needed to play, You know, I haven’t been playing much. I asked him if I can maybe go out on loan to get minutes. But then obviously the new coach Miguel Cardoso came in, and not long after that, I got opportunities to play. But that was because there were other players who were injured; most of the other centre-backs were injured. I stepped up.
De Reuck said.
I played a game against Stellenbosch FC in Cape Town; we won 1-0, played AmaZulu FC in Durban, we won 1-0. We had two clean sheets, you know. Then, obviously there were a few other players who came back, and then I was on the bench again. I came in against Richards Bay FC, played about 30 minutes and did well, And then after that, you know, I didn’t really play again. So, I could obviously see that my situation was not going to change at the club. Then I went back and I asked him [Berg] if it was still possible that I could go out on loan, because I could see that, I probably was not going to get much game time, there is a big squad and I really needed games in the legs.
De Reuck concluded.
