Neo Maema is reportedly set to return to Simba on loan for the 2026/27 season.
The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder was a regular under Steve Barker at the Tanzanian giants during his first loan spell last term.
Barker has already added South Africans Rushine De Reuck and Keletso Makgalwa as well as Nigerian former Stellies winger Ibraheem Jabaar to his squad and looks set on another season with Maema as well.
According to iDiski Times: “Following lengthy negotiations between Simba SC and Sundowns for Maema, the two sides have finally reached a loan agreement that will see the 30-year-old return to Simba for another season.”
