Former target Rowan Human has rejected AmaZulu’s contract extension, opening the door for Orlando Pirates to land the high-rated midfielder for free, but they will likely face competition from rivals Kaizer Chiefs.
“AmaZulu FC midfielder Rowan Human has been offered to Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs by his representatives as he is set to leave the club on a free transfer. Human will leave Usuthu at the end of June after his contract expires after the 24-year-old failed to reach an agreement with the club on a new contract,” a source revealed.
“Human has been offered to both Soweto giants by his representatives and it could only be a matter of time before he gets snapped up as he will be a free agent and rediscovered his old form.”
Signing confirmed
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates have secured the services of Buccaneers’ Baroka FC defender Tshepho Mashiloane.
“I would have loved to go to Orlando Pirates knowing that I have promoted my team [Baroka FC]. But I believe the guys will do well next season and promote the team,” a source said.
“The chairman [Khurishi Mphahlele] has supported me and my move to Pirates and is happy. I will have to up my game when I get there [to Pirates] so I can stay competitive. I would love to get a chance to play in the cup competitions like the Carling Knockout Cup, MTN8, and Nedbank Cup. But I understand I need to work hard to earn it. I want to achieve a lot of things at Pirates.”
Is Human a good fit for Orlando Pirates?
