Mohau Nkota returns to Orlando Pirates on loan from his Saudi Arabian side Al-ttifaq

Mohau Nkota has returned to South Africa after a dismal spell in Saudi Arabia.

The former Bafana BAfana international returns to Orlando Pirates on loan from Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq after a season there.

Nkota spent most of his time in the Middle East in the medical room than on the field of play and it looks like his club has grown tired of that.

He left South Africa on a high but his stint in the Saudi Pro League never really gave the idea of the talented and hardworking player he is.

It's not the first time he is a subject of a transfer from his side.

Nkota was initially going on loan to Portuguese giants in Benfica from Al-Ettifaq but that move did not materialise for various reasons.

And eventually the move back to his club would be seen as one to revive his ailing career which looked destined for stardom a season or two ago.
