Cape Town City FC announced the signing of Lyle Lakay on a season-long loan deal from Mamelodi Sundowns.
Lakay returns to the Cape Town based club after representing them in the 2017/18 season before darting off to Sundowns.
“It’s great feeling to be back, I’m excited for the rest of the season,” said Lakay.
“Obviously Cape Town City is an ambitious club and that’s one of the reasons I was interested in coming here. They’re in the Champions League and that’s where the big fish play so I’m looking forward to contributing to the success of the club.”

Eric Tinkler, City’s coach, feels Lakay’s know-how will make him a worthy addition to his squad and will also fill the void left by Terrance Mashego, one of their most important players last season, who has left the club.
In last DStv Premiership season, Lakay appeared in 21 games for Mamelodi Sundowns and scored one goal.
