Rushine De Reuck reveals the reason behind his lack of playing time with Mamelodi Sundowns!

Speaking to Simba SC's media team, the veteran defender explained the reasons behind his lack of contributions to Mamelodi Sundowns during his recent spell with the South African club.

Rushine De Reuck

It was a good experience for me at Sundowns, When I joined, I played many games, a lot of important games, and I was an important figure in the team for about two and a half years. But I got an injury, and that kind of slowed down my progress.The players that were playing at the time when I was out were doing well, So I found it a bit difficult to break into the line-up. But there were a lot of other things that happened. Things that I don’t really want to disclose. But for me, it’s in the past. It’s a new chapter for me now to focus and show my quality.

Rushine De Reuck said.

It’s a special feeling. Simba is a very big club. You experience it more once you are in the environment. I am very happy to be here, and it’s a big privilege for me. I also know it’s a big responsibility.
