NEW NOW: THE ORLANDO PIRATES FIRNALY WITNESSED THE NEW NOTEWORTHY,
The Orlando Pirates are still shaping their roster for next season. Vincent Pule departs the Buccaneers after six years of service.Pule joined Pirates from Wits in 2018, after winning the title with the Clever Boys the previous season. In the six years that followed, he made 146 appearances for the Pirates, scoring 23 goals and adding 12 assists. Pule has become a bit-part player in recent years, making only 29 appearances in the last three entire league seasons. Nonetheless, the dynamic attacking midfielder was popular among both his teammates and fans. He followed Siyabonga Mpontshane, Richard Ofori, Kermit Erasmus, Thabang Monare, and Fortune Makaringe out the door.
According to SoccerLaduma, the Pirates will announce many new additions before embarking on a pre-season tour of Europe. So far, they’ve revealed one new player: winger Deivi Miguel Vieira nicknamed Gilberto from Petro de Luanda. Selaelo Rasebotja, Bayanda Thabethe, Thuso Moleleki, and Ethan Visagie are all expected to follow suit soon, according to the publication. Gilberto, a 23-year-old Angolan star, arrives for R11 million and a huge reputation. He operates on the right side of the assault.
According to the famous UnplayableZA on X, the talented 24-year-old Thuso Moleleki will soon be an Orlando Pirates player. He has pleased NFD outfit Orbit College to the point where Jose Riveiro and his crew are confident he will bring value to the Nedbank Cup champions. Last season was Orbit College’s first season in the second division, and they secured their place after a successful first year. Moleleki made one appearance in the Nedbank Cup last season. With the impending arrival of Moleleki, Pirates’ options for the number 10 position have expanded. Relebohile Mofokeng, a prodigiously gifted youth, can easily function there, but he is also comfortable on the flanks.
The seasoned attacker spent time in France, Portugal,
and the Netherlands before returning to South African football in 2019. When he leaves Pirates at the end of the campaign, there will be plenty of suitors to bring him on board. Where will he wind up? There’s still plenty of utility in those aging legs. The veteran made a teary visit on the renowned Bucs Change Room TV.
