Orlando Pirates have loaned four more players to PSL rival clubs.
Orlando Pirates initially loaned out Monnapule Saleng (Orbit College) and Azola Tshobeni (Chippa United) to PSL rivals.
Now, FOUR more Bucs players are set for loan moves to sides in the Betway Premiership.
TWO MORE BUCS JOIN SALENG AT ORBIT COLLEGE
Saleng has been joined by Pirates team mates, Thusi Moleleki and Yanga SC on loan at Orbit.
As reported on The South African, Yanga Madiba (Orbit College) and Thuso Molekeki (Orbit College) have both joined Orbit ahead of the 2025/26 season. Madiba and Moleleki have both joined Orbit on loan.
“Following the signing of Saleng, Orbit have also concluded a loan move for Pirates left-back Yanga Madiba. The 23-year-old will have a second loan spell with Orbit, having spent the 2023/24 season in the second division with the club,” FarPost confirmed.
Thereafter, Moleleki became the third Bucs star to join Orbit. Moreover, he was spotted in Orbit colours last week. Therefore, Saleng, Madiba and Moleleki will all run out for Orbit this season.
TWO MORE BUCS JOIN TSHOBENI AT CHIPPA
Meanwhile, Tshobeni will be joined by Goodman Mosele and Abdoulaye S. Mariko have all been sent out on loan to PSL rivals, Chippa.
Thus bringing the total of loaned Pirates players to PSL rivals to SIX.
Meaning, just Zakhele Lepasa and Philip Ndlondlo are still free agents. Whilst, Maela is yet to make an announcement on his career following the end of his Bucs contract.
NEW-LOOK BUCS UNDER NEW COACH
So, the Bucs have signed 12 new players.
Of these new players, these THREE new Pirates players are expected to start regularly under Abdeslam Ouaddou this season. Meaning, these Bucs regulars will likely be dropped to the bench.
Meanwhile, these SEVEN new Pirates players are likely to be BENCHED. Here’s which players Ouaddou will likely START and who he will be rotating off the bench during the 2025/26 season.
