Although Pirates have recently welcomed some new signings, it stands to reason that they will also have to let some players go who do not fit into the current plans of the team.

It’s now reported by SABC Sport that midfielder Goodman Mosele will be sent out on loan for the 2023/24 season, with the Bafana international having struggled for game time under Jose Riveiro after some struggles since his impressive debut season.

According to the article, Chippa United is the likely destination for Mosele, with Pirates well stocked in the midfield and viewing a loan deal as the best bet for all parties.

PIRATES HAVE MADE SOME BIG SIGNINGS

Just recently it was confirmed that Sphamandla Gumede – from ABC Motsepe League club Dondol Stars – is set to make a move to the Soweto giants.

The Buccaneers have also swooped in to secure the services of Lesedi Kapinga ahead of the 2023/24 season.

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder, who recently played for Bafana Bafana in the COSAFA Cup, has put pen to paper on a three-year deal.

“I am pleased to join the club,” said Kapinga. “I’m not much of a talker because talk is cheap. All I’m focused on is to start training and working my way back to playing the game I love.”

Earlier this month, Pirates officially welcomed the signings of Sephelo Baloni (Cape Town All Stars), Katlego Otladisa (Marumo Gallants), Melusi Buthelezi (TS Galaxy) and Patrick Maswanganyi (SuperSport United).
