Pirates defender’s future at the club in doubt

One of Orlando Pirates defenders is facing an uncertain future as he awaits the club’s decision after returning from a loan spell.

Pirates have a galaxy of stars in their squad after signing some quality players during the current PSL transfer window.

The Buccaneers signed Siphelo Baloni, Katlego Otladisa, Melusi Buthelezi, Lesedi Kapinga, Patrick Maswanganyi, Lesedi Kapinga, Karim Kimvuidi and Siphamandla Gumede.

They have had an inconsistent start to the new season but look convincing when they play in front of their crowd at the Orlando Stadium.
