1 Views

Orlando Pirates fans have a new right-back to call their own. Tshepho Mashiloane is coming to Soweto. This will spell new competition for Deano Van Rooyen and Bandile Shandu.

As reported in previous weeks, the Sea Robbers signed the 23-year-old Baroka FC star for the 2025/26 Betway Premiership and CAF Champions League.

While the Orlando Pirates have yet to announce the news, Baroka FC’s chairman, Khurishi Mphahlele, has confirmed that the deal has been completed.

IT’S A DONE DEAL

“We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season,” Mphahlele told iDiski Times.

“But if Pirates want Mashiloane earlier there’s no problem we’ve got an agreement with Pirates. We can always make provision for that, but we are going to pay Mashiloane at the end of June because his contract ends at the end of June and the Pirates contract begins on the first of July.
