The January 2025 transfer window has brought a significant moment in the career of Forwardzone client, Jayden Adams, as the talented young midfielder has officially signed a 3.5-year deal with Betway Premiership giants Mamelodi Sundowns F.C.
Known for his technical brilliance, creative flair, ability to dictate play from the heart of midfield, stop goals, create goals and score goals, Adams has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting talents in South African football. His performances for Stellenbosch FC have not only captured the attention of local fans but also placed him on the radar of the country’s top clubs. “Jayden’s move to Mamelodi Sundowns is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and talent. It’s been an absolute pleasure being part of his journey and I have no doubt that he will make a significant impact at Sundowns” – Michael Costa, Forwardzone Licensed FIFA Agent.
This transfer not only marks an exciting step for the player but also highlights the enduring relationship between ourselves, Forwardzone, and Jayden over the past decade.
Forwardzone Group CEO, Ashley Kotzin, reflected on the past years with player and his family. “I remember Jayden Adams when he was about 11 or 12 years old” – said Kotzin. From the early days of his development, Forwardzone has been more than just a management agency for Jayden; it has been a family. Over the years, our connection has transcended formal agreements and the boundaries of the football pitch.
“We are super proud and excited to be a part of this next chapter in Jayden’s career and life,” added Kotzin, encapsulating the agency’s commitment to his success. For Forwardzone, Jayden’s journey is a reflection of our core philosophy: building long-term relationships that nurture not just the athlete but the individual.
The move is also a testament to Stellenbosch Football Club’s ability to nurture young talent and prepare them for bigger challenges. Over the years, the club has built a reputation as a breeding ground for future stars, and Adams’ progression is another feather in their cap.
Speaking on the transfer, Adams expressed his gratitude to Stellenbosch FC for their role in his development. “From the first training session to the countless games, the laughs, the challenges, and the growth we shared, I truly appreciate each and every one of you. You’ve not only helped me improve as a player but have also shown me what it means to be part of a family. The dedication, passion, and support that I experienced here are something I will always carry with me.”
As Jayden puts on the Sundowns jersey, he steps into new opportunities and challenges. “We are confident that this step will bring Jayden closer to reaching his full potential, and we are committed to supporting him every step of the way” – added Costa.
For the 23-year-old, this move represents a chance to compete at the highest level of South African football and to further cement his status as one of the country’s brightest young talents. For Forwardzone, it’s another proud moment in our mission to guide athletes towards fulfilling their potential while remaining grounded in the values that matter most.
