Thabiso Kutumela celebrating a goal during a 2024/25 Betway Premiership for Richards Bay and Sekhukhune United
Former Mamelodi Sundowns forward Thabiso Kutumela remains without a club ahead of the new Betway Premiership campaign, and Siya sources have confirmed that a move abroad could be an option for him.
The 32-year-old attacker has been on the lookout for a new home since his departure from Richards Bay FC at the end of last season.

Having not played as many games as he would have liked at the Natal Rich Boyz, Kutumela is eyeing a strong comeback to revive his career.
Recently, the former Baroka FC and Maritzburg United star spent time training with newly-promoted Durban City FC, but Siya sources have indicated that the club opted against offering him a deal.
“Efforts were made to place Thabiso Kutumela at a few clubs locally,” a Siya crew source revealed.
“AmaZulu, Sekhukhune United, and Magesi FC were all explored as potential destinations, but nothing materialised. It’s been difficult to find the right fit,” the source said.
Kutumela, who also had a short spell at Cape Town City from Sundowns during the 2023/24 season, is believed to be open to offers both domestically and beyond Mzansi borders.
Football agent Abbie Rasimphi, who is working with Kutumela, confirmed that the possibility of moving outside Mzansi is being strongly considered.

“Yes, we are again looking at options outside the country. Even clubs in Africa that are competing in interclub competitions have been contacted,” Rasimphi told the Siya crew.
“What I like about the boy is that he has CAF Champions League experience, and that aligns with the ambitions of many top clubs on the continent,” added Rasimphi.
