“The 28-year-old shared his enthusiasm about joining the club. ‘Joining Orlando Pirates is a significant milestone in my career, and I’m eager to make a meaningful contribution to the team’s success,”’ Lebitso said.

Why sign him? Well, one of the club’s existing wingers only made one league start, while the other is yet to taste PSL football.

The names are Katlego Otladisa and Azola Matrose.

Both Otladisa (27) and Matrose (20) are most likely to leave on loan.
