The Siya crew has been informed that although there were talks behind the scenes regarding a possible switch to Gallants, Ngobeni has opted for a fresh start in the Mother City with Jan Vreman's side.
Ngobeni, who struggled for regular minutes at Sundowns following his arrival from Bloemfontein Celtic, had been listed among the players released by the reigning Betway Premiership champions ahead of the new season.
