Orlando Pirates have just signed another player – their NINTH so far.
Orlando Pirates are planning big changes.
This new player has been spotted in training with the Bucs. Meanwhile, reports claim that he has just signed a deal with Pirates.
PIRATES PEN DOWN TWO-YEAR DEAL
Introducing, Abdoulaye Mariko from Mali.
“The 23-year-old is understood to have penned a two-year deal with Pirates, which includes an option to extend by a further year,” the insider stated on KickOff.
Furthermore, as reported on The South African, he is currently training with the Bucs.
Mariko joins EIGHT new players who have recently signed for Pirates. So, he joins Yanela Mbuthuma and Nkosikhona Ndaba from Richards Bay FC, Masindi Nemtajela (Marumo Gallants), Tshepang Moremi (Amazulu FC), Bafana Bafana international Sinoxolo Kwayiba (Chippa United).
MORE SIGNINGS LINKED WITH THE BUCS
Neo Maema is the latest big-name Sundowns and Bafana Bafana star linked with Pirates.
“Yes, the club is believed to have made enquiries about Maema. Actually he was the first one even before Sipho Mbule. It has to be seen what will be the next move because apparently he still has one year on his contract with Sundowns. And Kaizer Chiefs are also believed to be interested in him,” the insider stated on SNL.
THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA AT MAYFAIR
Pirates have appointed a new head coach in Abdeslam Ouaddou.
Furthermore, the new Bucs coach is tasked with the responsibility of appointing a new Pirates captain.
This is because former club captain Innocent Maela has left the club. He is one of FOUR Pirates player departures with Miguel Timm, Thabiso Monyane and Paeko Mako all leaving the Bucs.
Meanwhile, FOUR more Pirates player departures are on the cards. Whilst, Pirates are closing in on their next new signing with these Bafana Bafana and Sundowns stars on their radar.
IF YOU WERE PIRATES COACH, HE WOULD YOU SIGN TO THE BUCS?
