Vincent Pule reunited with Hunt at SuperSport after Pirates exit
Experienced winger Vincent Pule is back under the tutelage of coach Gavin Hunt after signing with SuperSport United following his departure from Orlando Pirates.
Fuelled by his desire to play on a more regular basis, Pule reached a mutual agreement to leave Pirates despite having one year remaining on his contract with the club.
The former Bafana Bafana international wasted no time finding a new home as he went to Matsatsantsa last week to complete a medical, as reported by SABC Sport.
This action paved the way for a reunion with his former coach, Hunt, who knows Pule well from their time together at Bidvest Wits. Hunt has already extended a warm welcome to Pule on X [Twitter], with a picture of their time together at Wits captioned “Welcome back.”
SuperSport announced that Pule signed a one-year contract with the option to extend his stay.
The 32-year-old travelled with SuperSport to Botswana for their pre-season and has already featured for his new club in a friendly clash against DF XI on Friday.
