Orlando Pirates winger Tshepang Moremi has been seen training in the coveted No. 11 jersey, signaling the club’s confidence in the young attacker’s potential.
Moremi, who joined Pirates this winter, takes over the number from Gilberto, whose departure is imminent. The No. 11 shirt holds historical significance at Pirates, worn by legends like Teko Modise and Luvuyo Memela.
A statement of faith in youth and pace
Moremi’s assumption of this jersey is more than symbolic. At just 24 years old, he is poised to become a key player under new head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. Pirates appear intent on investing in youthful energy and speed down the flanks, and Moremi’s confident handling of the shirt number hints at a significant attacking role in the coming season.
While the No. 11 jersey carries pressure, it also offers a platform for Moremi to cement his place and make a mark in Bucs history. Fans will watch closely to see if he can follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and become a standout performer for Orlando Pirates this season.
