Orlando Pirates star signs 12th career deal
Moving to Orlando Pirates does not mean you have made it as a Buccaneer. Miguel Timm signing a new contract extension at 32 does.
MIGUEL TIMM’S LONG JOURNEY
Playing football for a living is not really easy. It often comes with plenty of disappointments and setbacks that demand persevence. The Durban-born Timm signed for Orlando Pirates in 2022 at the age of 30, before signing a new two-year extension on Thursday at the age of 32. Has it always been this encouraging for Timm? Not really.
Starting his career at the SuperSport United acamedy, Timm was certain he was going to the top. He could not imagine he was going to be moved on loan to Mpumalanga Black Aces, become clubless, move to the United States before later finding himself without a club.
