Orlando Pirates sign Mariko
The Sea Robbers have swooped to sign the relatively unknown Abdoulaye Mariko from Djoliba. The midfield schemer played seven times in the Champions League last season.
New arrivals at Orlando Pirates
Kabelo Kgositsile, Masindi Nemtajela, Nkosikhona Ndaba, Tshepo Mashiloane, Sihle Nduli, Tsepang Moremi, Sinoxolo Kwayiba, Yanela Mbuthuma and Sipho Mbule are all expected to become Pirates players during the winter window.
Can Orlando Pirates afford to sell Mofokeng now?
Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana wide forward Relebohile Mofokeng seems destined for a big-money move away from South Africa. He racked up a staggering 49 appearances in the 2024-2025 season across all competitions. Arguably the club’s most important operator, that sample of matches included 12 goals and 15 assists. It’s a stellar output for any player, let alone one who only exited his teens in October 2024.
