Former Orlando Pirates striker Kwame Peprah has gotten off to a new start in the Israeli Premier League.

PEPRAH WITH A NEW LEASE ON LIFE AFTER TROUBLES IN THE PSL

22-year-old Ghanaian Kwame Peprah enjoyed a promising start to life at Orlando Pirates, but things quickly changed. When Jose Riveiro arrived, he fell down the pecking order and spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign out on loan with Maritzburg. All told, Peprah scored nine goals in 44 appearances for Pirates in a frustrating spell at Mayfair. Now, he’s stitched together TWO consecutive 90 minute appearances in Israel, something he never achieved in South Africa. He also scored on debut.

Jose Riveiro’s in-form Buccaneers team have scored nine goals in their last two matches across all competitions. The fixtures are coming thick and fast because of their involvement in the CAF Champions League preliminary round. Tonight might afford Riveiro the chance to rotate his squad, but wholesale alterations aren’t expected. Why would he make drastic changes to a winning formula?
