In fact, they believe they have enough talent on the wing.

“It seems like it was an emotional signing and they (Pirates) feel like there is nothing special he is giving to the team compared to the players they already have on the wings like Bandile Shandu and Thabiso Monyane. They even use Paseko Mako on the right. So now they want to loan Martin next season and preferably back to Cape Town City. But we will see all that at the end of the season,” the relevant source confirmed on SoccerLaduma.

Therefore, Shandu and Monyane may be used more regularly moving forward.

It seems that Martin will be one of several players loaned out or dropped at the end of this season.
