PSL RETURNS IMMINENT

Jele and Lorch could return to action very soon – as early as this month.

However, neither player’s return will be rushed due to the nature of their injuries and their importance in the side. Jele is the captain and a leader, a true Bucs icon with a world of experience to his name. He recently broke a PSL record for appearances.

Lorch is the former PSL Player of the Season and has been out since the start of the season.

He could provide some much-needed creativity and spark in attack for the Bucs who are struggling for goals this season. Both players are widely regarded as Pirates legends, Jele for his leadership and defense and Lorch for his skills and attack.
