Orlando Pirates confirm signing of Sipho Mbule on a free transfer
Orlando Pirates have confirmed the signing of Sipho Mbule on a free transfer after the midfielder's contract was now renewed by Mamelodi Sundowns.
The 24-year-old has been one of the standout performers in the Betway Premiership and his move to the Soweto giants marks a major milestone in his career.
AmaZulu officially confirmed Moremi's transfer this week, adding further momentum to Pirates' transfer activity.
According to Soccer Laduma, Moremi may be just the first of several new arrivals, with as many as seven more players reportedly set to link up with the Buccaneers when pre-season training resumes next week.
While the club has not yet issued any formal announcements, various sources suggest that some of these deals are already done, with a number of players believed to have signed contracts with the Soweto outfit.
After finishing last season strongly - including domestic cup success and securing qualification for CAF competitions - Pirates are clearly intent on building a squad capable of challenging on all fronts.
The technical team, led by head coach Jose Riveiro, will be eager to integrate the new recruits quickly as preparations intensify for the upcoming campaign.
Supporters will be keeping a close eye on developments, eager to see who joins Moremi in what could be an exciting new era for the Sea Robbers especially after the arrival of new coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
