The 22-year-old has been struggling for game-time with the South African champions despite a sterling first season which saw him win the African Football League Player of the Tournament and Top Goalscorer awards.

Maseko then went on to being included in Bafana Bafana’s AFCON 2023 squad that won a bronze under Belgian mentor Hugo Broos.

According to a report from iDiski Times, the tricky forward has left Masandawana’s camp ahead of the move which will see him join compatriot Luther Singh at the club.

He is set to become the third South African in the Cyprus League alongside Singh and Mihlali Mayambela.

Meanwhile, Sundowns have added a direct replacement with the addition of former Orlando Pirates and Orbit College loanee Monnapule Saleng prior to revelations of Maseko’s imminent exit. 

Maseko has featured in 79 matches in all competitions with Tshwane duo Mamelodi Sundowns (45) and SuperSport United (34), scoring seven goals and providing three assists.
