HAPPY JELE PLANNING TO KEEP PLAYING
Staying with Pirates, Lorch’s former teammate and captain, Happy Jele, is determined to keep playing football beyond his current age of 37.
After looking very unfamiliar in a Royal AM jersey last season, the Middelburg-born defender left the KZN club in the early past of this season.
So what’s next?
“At this point and time, I’m still training on my own,” Jele told FARPost.
