Mamelodi Sundowns forward Gaston Sirino has spoken out for the first time since his failed move to Al Ahly failed to materialise.

Sirino was heavily linked with a move to reunite with former coach Pitso Mosimane at Al Ahly and also spoke of his desire to join the Egyptian giants.

'I feel happy to be back in the side after being away for a long time. It’s a great feeling to come back and help the team with an assist or a goal whenever I can and I just want to go out and work hard for the side,' Sirino told his club's official website.

'This season we just want to make sure we keep the standard from last season and bring more accolades to the club, we want to dominate the league and go further in CAF Champions League, it is a cup where we come up against very good teams and we do have the players that can go out there and win the cup.'
