Today’s Orlando Pirates news wrap looks at several ins and outs, including a replacement for Kaizer Chiefs target Sipho Mbule. Also, remember when Mbappe’s name was on a Pirates jersey?
Mabasa to leave Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs interested
When quizzed on his next move after a loan spell with Stellenbosch, striker Tshegofatso Mabasa has indicated that no concrete decisions have been made. Despite his output of four goals in 14 outings, the Winelands side has said it won’t be signing the 29-year-old permanently. Another man who’s left the building is Sipho Mbule, whose contract has expired. Pirates have chosen not to extend the 28-year-old’s deal.
