Johannesburg -Talented young midfielder Wandisile Simelane has committed his future to the Lions by extending his contract.
The Johannesburg franchise announced on Thursday that the 22-year-old has extended his contract until 2022.
There were rumours that the former Junior Springbok player could leave and was linked with the Sharks, Bulls and Stormers. It is understood that the Stormers made a formal bid for the star but the Lions the offer.
Simelane is obliged to stay at Ellis Park though he will also be safe knowing that the Lions hierarchy clearly still considers him a key part of their future plans.
Meanwhile, the Lions have also confirmed the signings of Bulls utility back Divan Rossouw and Maties under-21 playmakers Jordan Hendrikse.
