“His time at Orlando Pirates is up according to what I have heard. Everyone knows that his contract expires at the end of the season.” a source told Citizen.

“There have been talks already with the management because the technical team was not really certain which players they are going to need for the next campaign.

“But, that just opened doors for SuperSport to pounce on him. Going to SuperSport gives him an opportunity to play more, because it is something that is not guaranteed at Pirates for him. I think that is why he has signed a pre-contract.”
