HUGE changes at Orlando Pirates revealed

Orlando Pirates have confirmed some major departures and arrivals at the club. Here’s a transfer wrap, in case you missed any of them.

Orlando Pirates make big changes

New Betway Premiership champions Orlando Pirates will be a new-look outfit next term after several high-profile departures, notably Relebohile Mofokeng. The following players have left the club:

• Selaelo Rasebotja
• Siyabonga Ndlozi
• Gomolemo Khoto
• Sonwabo Khumalo
• Blessing Ngiba
• Seth Green
• Thabiso Lebitso
• Bandile Shandu
• Sipho Mbule
• Tshegofatso Mabasa

Pirates have welcomed seven new players aboard. They are Mthetheleli Mthiyane, Sbangani Zulu, Bohlale Ngwato, Ghampani Lungu, Neo Rapoo, Aphiwe Baliti and Matome Mmolai.

Dansin to replace Relebohile Mofokeng at Orlando Pirates?

Although Cemran Dansin operated mostly on the fringes for the club, there’s no doubting his ability. The 21-year-old can operate in several midfield roles, although he might be most useful closer to goal. Just look at his screamer against Sundowns for proof of that. A quick look at the comments section of a Pirates post featuring the player, and you’ll get a clear picture of how fans view him. Although Dansin is stylistically different to the departed Rele Mofokeng, he could end up slotting into that vacant number 10 role. There’s also talk of an R18 million valuation of 17-year-old Emile Witbooi.
