Andre de Jong set to join Orlando Pirates from Stellenbosch
According to iDiski Times, Orlando Pirates approached Stellies recently before reaching a club-to-club agreement for the sale, with personal terms with the player already agreed.
The former AmaZulu striker featured in 114 matches for the Western Cape winelands outfit, scoring 19 goals whilst providing 11 assists, with his last fixture for the club ending in a 2-1 loss against Polokwane City on Wednesday.
The experienced 29-year-old is set to join the Buccaneers officially on the first of January when the transfer window re-opens and his versatility in attack should boost the teams' attacking options.
