Former Mamelodi Sundowns forward, Cassius Mailula has rejoined Rulani Mokwena at Wydad Athletic Club in Morocco, following an unsuccessful year in Canada.
Mailula joins the Moroccan giants on a loan deal that runs through to July 2025 and includes a purchase option, after making just eight appearance and scoring twice for Toronto FC in all competitions.
Mailula sealing a move to Casablanca has garnered plenty of on social media, with a number of fans showing their delight over what could be a career reviving move for the 23-year-old.
"Cash" burst onto the scene at Masandawana in the 2022-2023 season, bagging 15 goals in 34 games in all competitions and earning a Bafana Bafana call-up.
With competitions like the Club World Cup, African Super League and competitive Botola Pro 1, Mailula has a golden opportunity to play himself into Hugo Broos' Bafana plans again, under a coach he's comfortable with.

"Wydad AC have put these talks on hold as Mokwena has been given the freedom to have the final say on who gets signed by the club as he prepares the mammoth task of awakening a sleeping giant."

Look at Rhulani right now. He has secured Cassius Mailula, and was rumoured to be actively pursuing Abdelmounaim Boutouil. Those are players who are familiar with his philosophy and principles.
