Orlando Pirates are currently in Spain for their pre-season which includes nine new signings.
On Tuesday, a new face was spotted training with the Buccaneers. The player is believed to be TS Galaxy defender Lebone Seema. The Pirates media team are yet to confirm the signing of the player but TS Galaxy owner Tim Sukazi hinted that the defender had joined the Soweto giants.
“It was a mutual agreement. He was still contracted to us. He asked to be released due to a lack of game-time and was handed his clearance,” Sukazi told KickOff.
