Orlando Pirates have announced the signing of Polokwane City attacker Oswin Appollis after a year-long pursuit.
His arrival could officially spell the end of Monnapule Saleng’s time in Soweto. The 27-year-old winger hasn’t featured since December 7 but did return to training towards the tail end of last season.
Appollis and Tshepang Moremi’s arrival suggests no Orlando Pirates-Saleng reunion.
Mofokeng exit inevitable?
Meanwhile, there’s growing concern that Relebohile Mofokeng will leave Orlando Pirates after his father revealed his wish for him to play in Europe next season. Another figure throwing caution to the wind is Bafana boss Hugo Broos.
“Talking about Mofokeng, I just hope that he makes the right decisions. And that he is not going to a team where he won’t play,” said Broos.
“I see all the things around, Barcelona and Rangers and… (sighs) I’m a little bit afraid. I just hope that the people around make the choice of the best sportive solution and not the best financial solution.
“Okay, I think his parents want the best for him, that’s for sure. But there is another guy who wants to win a lot of money also, but that’s the problem. But ok, let’s hope, maybe I talked too soon about that.
“We’ll see. I think in June, Rele will not be a player of Orlando Pirates anymore, but a good choice is very important.”
Will Mofokeng leave Orlando Pirates in the offseason?
