Jali was the most sought-after signature in the off-season.

He ultimately decided against joining the coach less side.

Jali will also have the opportunity to work with his old teammate from Orlando Pirates Oupa Manyisa.

Makaab played an important part in helping his client come to a decision which both felt comfortable.

Sundowns will face Kaizer Chiefs in the first big match of the pre-season.
