Ayanda Patosi’s future has finally been confirmed after he was linked with a return to South Africa earlier this window.
Patosi was heavily linked with a return to the Premier Soccer League after training with Cape Town City for a week.
The 29-year-old’s previous contract with Foolad FC had expired in June 2022 before coming back to South Africa during the off-season, while negotiations for a new contract were going on with his former side.
A few months ago when the former Cape Town City midfielder spoke with iDiski Times, he mentioned that he had other offers but was also happy with Foolad who were keen on extending his services.
“There are offers, which I can’t tell you now. But the team I’m with is happy with me and I’m also happy,” Patosi confirmed to iDiski Times journalist Sinethemba Makonco on Zibonele FM at the time.
However, he has now renewed his deal with the Iranian side, as Foolad confirmed on social media.
The new contract for the Cape Town-born midfielder is set to run until June 2023 after he put pen-to-paper for another year. He helped his side to the last 16 of the AFC Champions League that will resume in February 2023.
