Soweto giants Orlando Pirates have signed a new winger and left-sided central defender.
Following the arrival of Andre De Jong from Stellenbosch FC, the Buccaneers have made it three January window additions.
ORLANDO PIRATES STATEMENT
“Orlando Pirates Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Daniel Msendami and Mpho Chabatsane, as the Club continues to strengthen its squad ahead of the resumption of the 2025/26 campaign,” the MTN8 and Carling Knockout champions said.
“The Buccaneers have reached an agreement with Marumo Gallants for the services of both players, with the transfers concluded on a permanent and immediate basis,” the club added.
Orlando Pirates added topraise Bahlabane Ba Ntwa for their cooperative approach during negotiations. The 1995 African champions highlighted the smooth and professional manner in which the deal was concluded.
With the admin done and dusted, Msendami and Chabatsane are expected to link up with the rest of the squad in the North West, where preparations for the restart of the Betway Premiership are currently in full swing.
The Buccaneers believe both players will strengthen the group and inject added competition across the squad as the technical team continues to fine-tune plans for the second half of the campaign.
