Orlando Pirates to send newly signed rising star out on loan?

“He is a good young player. He can play at the highest level and that’s why the team signed him but what they want now is to loan him out.” an insider told SoccerLaduma.

“This is so that he can gain experience and have more game time at a higher level. They are preparing him for the bigger stage.

“You know, that’s what Orlando Pirates did with Lorch? They loaned him to Cape Town All Stars and then Chippa United before he became a regular.

“And the same with Saleng. They loaned him to Swallows FC soon after signing him. Look at both of them now. They are stars.”
