Orlando Pirates have reportedly tied down Paseko Mako to an extended two year deal amid a lack of depth in the left-back position.

“For now, he [Mako] is the only left back who can be there next season as the future of captain Innocent Maela hangs in the balance. So that is why they have decided to keep him for a further two seasons.” a source revealed.

One of the Buccaneers current longest-servants, Mako joined in 2018, amassing 170 appearances for the Soweto giants thus far.

Mofokeng’s future

Bafana coach Hugo Broos believes this will be Relebohile Mofokeng’s last season with Orlando Pirates, saying, “Talking about Mofokeng, I just hope that he makes the right decisions. And that he is not going to a team where he won’t play.

“I see all the things around, Barcelona and Rangers and… (sighs) I’m a little bit afraid. I just hope that the people around make the choice of the best sportive solution and not the best financial solution.

“Okay, I think his parents want the best for him, that’s for sure. But there is another guy who wants to win a lot of money also, but that’s the problem. But ok, let’s hope, maybe I talked too soon about that.

“We’ll see. I think in June, Rele will not be a player of Orlando Pirates anymore, but a good choice is very important.”
