Orlando Pirates Eye Successful New Campaign with Nine Potential Signings

orlando pirates dstv premiership

The Orlando Pirates are gearing up for a successful new football season as they prepare to embark on their pre-season training in Europe. The team’s recent success under the guidance of Spanish coach Jose Riveiro has inspired the club to aim for even greater achievements. According to reports, the club is considering up to nine new faces to join their ranks in the upcoming season.

Pursuing the DStv Premiership title

Under Riveiro’s leadership, the Pirates were able to secure two out of three domestic titles in the 2022/23 football season. However, the coveted DStv Premiership title held by their rivals, Mamelodi Sundowns, is the one that the Buccaneers have their eyes on. This sentiment echoes that of club legend Benni McCarthy. To achieve this goal, the team is reportedly close to announcing several new signings.

Anticipated Signings

The Pirates are expected to make a significant impact with several new signings. TS Galaxy goalkeeper, Buthelezi, is among the anticipated arrivals, with his transfer to the Pirates all but confirmed. Siphelo Balloon, a former All Stars FC midfielder, is also expected to join the team as a free agent. The transfer fee for speedy winger, Katlego Otladisa, has been agreed upon between the Pirates and Marumo Gallants, making his signing with the club reportedly close.

Karim Kimvuidi, an attacking midfielder recently relegated with Maritzburg United, is also a potential recruit for the Pirates. Sicelo Hlatshwayo, a center back from Golden Arrows, is rumored to be in talks with the club, with a possible transfer imminent given the close relationship between the two teams.

Bathusi Aubass, a Galaxy midfielder and Bafana Bafana call-up, and Ranga Chivaviro, a talented striker, are also likely to sign with the Pirates. However, Chivaviro’s signing has experienced a slight delay due to a dispute between Marumo Gallants and Richards Bay FC over ownership. Andile Jali, a former Pirate player, is speculated to rejoin the team on a one-year deal with an option for a further year.

Mosa Lebusa

The most recent name linked to the Pirates is Mosa Lebusa, a Bafana Bafana international player currently with Sundowns. Reports suggest that Lebusa has already signed with the Pirates, and an unveiling alongside Jali is expected in the near future.

Poised for Success

As the team heads to Spain for their pre-season training under coach Riveiro, the anticipation surrounding these potential signings is palpable among fans and players alike. With a renewed hunger for success and a bolstered squad, the Orlando Pirates appear ready to challenge their rivals and compete for the coveted DStv Premiership title in the upcoming season.
