Reliable news: Orlando Pirates to announce new player

Orlando Pirates are reportedly close to announcing the signing of a right-back for next season.

Tshepho Mashiloane, a name that has been floating around in the media, is expected to cause major competition for the position with Deano Van Rooyen and Bandile Shandu.

According to reports, the Sea Robbers made the deal in order to compete for the 2025-2026 Betway Premiership title again as the current champions and to compete again for the CAF Champions League title after reaching the final this season.

Although Orlando Pirates have yet to announce the deal, Baroka FC's chairman told the media that the deal has been finalized, and the player will be with Orlando Pirates next season.

We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season. 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.
