Massive! Royal AM swoop free-agent Nascimento after Sundowns exit

DStv Premiership newbies Royal AM have unveiled veteran defender Ricardo Nascimento as their latest signing on Thursday.

The 35-year-old recently ended his six-year trophy-laden stay with Mamelodi Sundowns, with reports stating that he returned to Brazil.

However, Royal AM owner Shauwn Mkhize, was all smiles and full of humour when making the announcement.

Nascimento's contract length remains unknown.

Royal AM will return to domestic action on Saturday against Cape Town City in a Nedbank Cup Round of 32.

Kick-off is at 15:00.
