Orlando Pirates next big discovery earns a new contract.
Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has uncovered yet another rising star in Siyabonga Ndlozi, a talented right-back who is now making waves within the first team setup. The 22-year-old defender has shown immense promise, and his future at the Buccaneers is looking brighter than ever.
Ndlozi has recently secured a place in the Pirates’ matchday squads, featuring in crucial games such as the Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs and the 2-1 triumph over Sekhukhune United. Though he remained an unused substitute in both matches, his presence in the squad highlights the faith Riveiro has in his potential.
Long journey to Orlando Pirates
The young defender first turned heads when he made his first-team debut against Egyptian giants Al Ahly last month. His relentless work ethic has earned him admiration from the technical team, putting him in contention for more game time in the club’s busy Premier Soccer League and CAF Champions League campaigns.
Ndlozi’s road to professional football has been anything but easy. Before securing his place at Orlando Pirates, he had stints with Golden Arrows and TS Galaxy, where he honed his skills and chased his dream of playing at the highest level. His perseverance has paid off, earning him a long-term contract with the Buccaneers.
Future filled with promise
“It’s an opportunity that he isn’t taking lightly, and he will make sure that he makes good use of it. The club offered him a three-year contract, and he aims to achieve the most out of it. The club believes in him, and he will be supported in every way possible to become one of the top players for seasons to come,” the source confirmed.
With a promising future ahead, Siyabonga Ndlozi is set to make an even bigger impact at Orlando Pirates. His journey from loan spells to securing a contract with one of South Africa’s biggest clubs is a testament to his dedication. As he continues to develop under Riveiro’s guidance, fans can expect to see him cement his place as a key player in the Buccaneers’ defensive line-up.
