Orlando Pirates close to signing Polokwane City star!

Orlando Pirates are reportedly close to signing one of Polokwane City's top players, with the South African club apparently entering the market to sign names before the summer market even opens.

As Orlando Pirates prepare for their final league clash against Magesi FC on Wednesday, the match could mark a farewell for several players as the club ushers in a post-Jose Riveiro era. With the Spanish coach’s three-year tenure now concluded, the Buccaneers are wasting no time reshaping their squad reportedly securing six new signings already, with more targets in sight.

In another key development, Polokwane City right-back Thabang Matuludi is reportedly close to joining Pirates.
