Despite the blistering start, management are refusing to rest on their laurels. They’re actively filling all of the potentials gaps the long-season ahead may show, by strategic reinforcements.
Now, the club have confirmed their latest new signing. Let’s take a look at all of the details below.
Orlando Pirates confirm latest new signing
Orlando Pirates confirmed the arrival of Marumo Gallants star Bheki Mabuza. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder joins the Buccaneers on a permanent basis.
A product of the Bucs academy, Mabuza joined Gallants at the beginning of last season and quickly became a standout performer for the Limpopo side.
The attacking midfielder has made 30 appearances for Gallants thus far, scoring three goals while assisting one more.
As part of the agreement, Daniel Msendami and Abdoulaye Mariko will head in the opposite direction, joining Gallants on loan for the remainder of the season.
