Lesedi Kapinga Joins Orbit College on Free Transfer Until End of Season

Lesedi Kapinga has secured a new chapter in his career after completing a free transfer to Orbit College. The North West based club confirmed that the deal is finalized, bringing the experienced winger into their squad for the remainder of the season. Orbit College general manager Matome Kganakga confirmed the agreement and outlined the terms of the contract. “I can officially confirm to you that Kapinga has signed with us until the end of the season, with an option to renew,” Kganakga said. The move provides both the player and the club with flexibility as they assess performance and future plans.

Kapinga, 30, had been training with Orbit College following his departure from Sekhukhune United. His time at Babina Noko proved challenging, as he managed just 13 appearances over a 16 month spell. Limited game time affected his rhythm and impact, leading to a mutual parting of ways. For a player who previously featured for top sides such as Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, the switch to Orbit College offers a chance to rebuild confidence and secure regular minutes on the pitch. A consistent run of games will be critical if he aims to rediscover the form that once made him a sought after winger in South African football.

Orbit College gain valuable experience and attacking depth with this signing. Kapinga brings pace, technical ability, and knowledge gained from competing at the highest domestic level. His versatility in wide positions could provide the team with tactical flexibility, especially in high pressure matches. The club’s decision to sign him on a short term deal with an option to renew suggests a performance based approach that benefits both parties. If Kapinga delivers, an extension could follow at the end of the campaign.

There is added intrigue surrounding his potential debut. Orbit College are set to face Sekhukhune United in Polokwane on 15 February, which could see Kapinga lining up against his former teammates. Such fixtures often carry extra motivation for players eager to prove a point. For Kapinga, it presents an immediate opportunity to show his value and demonstrate that he still has plenty to offer. As he begins this new journey in the North West, all eyes will be on how quickly he adapts and whether he can reignite his career with Orbit College.
