Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly eyeing two former Orlando Pirates defenders in the next transfer period.
The Buccaneers released several players this month, including Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako. According to SABC Sport, Amakhosi are close to finalising a deal with Monyane. The 25-year-old right-back spent 13 years with the Buccaneers, where he went on to make 95 appearances.
With the signing of Deano van Rooyen, Monyane’s gametime at Orlando Pirates was very limited. This week, he bid farewell to the club in an emotional message.
“Joining the institution at 12 to 25, this club has been my everything. I’ve grown as a player, but more importantly, as a person. I’m grateful for the trophies we’ve won, the memories we’ve created, and the friendships that will last a lifetime,” read part of the statement.
“To the fans, thank you for your unwavering support. Your cheers, chants, constructive criticism and passion fuelled me every step of the way. I’ll never forget the electric atmosphere you created on match days.
Monyane leaves Orlando Pirates
“To the chairman, staff, technical team, and players, past and present, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and camaraderie. You’ve all played a role in shaping me into the player I am today.
“As I embark on my new journey, I’ll carry the lessons, values, and memories from this club with me always. I’ll be forever grateful for the opportunity to represent this amazing club and be part of its history.”
Another former Orlando Pirates player rumoured to be moving to Chiefs is Paseko Mako. The utility player was released by the club after seven years with the Buccaneers.
