Jayden Adams

Jayden Adams is a technically assured midfielder who came through Stellenbosch before earning a move to Mamelodi Sundowns, the most demanding environment in South African football. At Sundowns he has been schooled in Rulani Mokwena's high-intensity, possession-based system, which demands spatial awareness and quick decision-making — qualities Adams has steadily refined. Still only 25, he has developed into a reliable option for Bafana Bafana in central midfield, capable of linking defence to attack efficiently. His growth under Sundowns' demanding continental schedule has accelerated his development beyond what the PSL alone would have provided.
