New Thembinkosi Lorch? Orlando Pirates sign exciting NFD gem!

Orlando Pirates have completed yet another signing as they prepare for the new season, according to the latest reports.

Pirates have already announced the signing of the exciting Angolan international Gilberto, earlier this week with an appetite for more.

One announced more to go

Players who are thought to have signed, but have not been announced yet are Thalenthe Mbatha and Selaelo Rasebotja. Mbatha has already been a Buccaneers since the turn of the year. His former SuperSport United team Rasebotja will join him in Houghton on a free. It remains to be seen when Pirates will announce those two deals.

After the blockbuster announcement of Gilberto, one signing seems to have gone under the radar at Pirates. This in the form of another midfielder in Thuso Moleleki who has signed for the Soweto giants from Orbit College as per iDiski Times.

Moleleki latest Pirates signing?

“Soweto giants Orlando Pirates have completed the signing of Orbit College midfielder Thuso Moleleki, iDiski Times has learnt. Moleleki is known for his coolness on the ball and has good technique to spray long and short passes. He was the main man in the midfield of Orbit College as they spent 16 weeks sitting on top of the table. This publication has been informed that Moleleki has penned a three-year deal with an option to extend it for a further two years with the Buccaneers, but the club are yet to announce his signing. The Sea Robbers were pressed for time and had to seal the deal as quickly as possible, as they gear up for their pre-season trip to Spain next month.” Wrote the publication.

Moleleki is another example of the Pirates scouting system, which is constantly on the lookout for raw talent. Their net stretches high and wide and beyond just South Africa’s topflight. It now remains to be seen when he will be announced, but it could be before the tour to Spain.
