Orlando Pirates have a long-standing interest in the mercurially gifted Jaedin Rhodes. What’s so special about the Cape Town City star?
Rhodes is already a reliable PSL performer
Since making the step up from youth to senior football in 2025, Jaedin Rhodes has flourished. Rhodes can operate in several attacking midfield roles, either on the flanks or behind a central striker. He made 23 appearances in the 2024-2025 league season for the Citizens. Availability is one of his biggest strengths. Last season, he made 29 league appearances, and the season before, he notched up 17.
What’s the latest on a potential move to Orlando Pirates?
Pirates are still exploring the possibility of signing 22-year-old Rhodes. With the spectre of relegation hanging over the Mother City side, Rhodes will only be able to focus on a potential transfer once his club’s fate is secured, one way or another.
Mayele to choose between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs?
Fiston Mayele, scorer in the recent Champions League final in Pyramids FC’s win over Sundowns, is a wanted man.
