Pirates have made 11 signings so far
Out in Spain right now, there are a number of new faces including players and coaches. Pirates have confirmed Sipho Mbule, Masindi Nemtajela, Nkosikhona Ndaba, Tshepo Mashiloane, Sihle Nduli,Tshepang Moremi, Sinoxolo Kwayiba and Yanela Mbuthuma. They also dropped the bomb of Oswin Appollis while they’re yet to announce the signing of Malian midfielder Abdoulaye Mariko. This publication also reported that TS Galaxy centre-back Lebone Seema is also set to join. This comes after the appointment of new coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
Pirates, clearly not done yet in the market had also invited Zambian striker Enock Sakala to train with them. The player spent six-months with Chippa United last season and was left with the group of players in South Africa. Now according to Soccer-Laduma, the Buccaneers are stepping their attempts to sign Thabo Moloisane from Stellenbosch FC!
Moloisane the next?
“It’s believed to be an ongoing process. It’s one player at a time and if you look at the players signed so far there are no central defenders and apparently that’s why it’s believed that the club (Pirates) are still pursuing Thabo Moloisane. The club scouts and recruiters are believed to have been following his progress for some time now,” said one source to the same publication.
A second source claims Pirates want Moloisane to boost their squad depth, heading into multiple competitions next season.
Quality squad depth needed
“They (Pirates) are apparently looking at bringing in Thabo Moloisane to strengthen and bolster the squad and have a well-balanced squad as the club are building a strong squad to compete in all the tournaments this season including fighting for the league title,” said the source.
