Orlando Pirates midfielder Miguel Timm has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until at least 2026.
Timm’s new one-year deal includes the option of a further season, as the highly-rated star is rewarded for his impressive performance with the Soweto giants in the PSL.
The Buccaneers confirmed the news of the talented midfielder on Thursday morning on their official website.
Timm’s contract was set to expire at the end of this month, but the Soweto giants decided to trigger their option to extend his stay.
He joined Jose Riveiro’s side in July 2022 from Marumo Gallants. Timm has made 63 appearances across all competitions for Bucs and won four domestic cups.
