Orlando Pirates reserves player Siyabonga Ndlozi is reportedly days away from being promoted to the first team.

“It’s an opportunity that he isn’t taking lightly, and he will make sure that he makes good use of it. The club offered him a three-year contract, and he aims to achieve the most out of it,” a source confirmed.

“The club believes in him, and he will be supported in every way possible to become one of the top players for seasons to come.”

The former TS Galaxy defender joined the Orlando Pirates ranks in 2022 and has since been lighting it up the reserves league.

It was perhaps Ndlozi’s CAF Champions League performance against Al Ahly that secured his future with the Buccaneers, playing a pivotal role in Pirates’ 2-1 victory.

Rhodes to Pirates?

Orlando Pirates are monitoring Cape Town City youngster Jaedin Rhodes:

“He (Rhodes) has been one of their (Pirates’) targets for some time now,” SoccerLaduma confirmed.

“They have been monitoring him though there hasn’t been much happening. They were targeting him for the January transfer window period.

“Now that it didn’t happen they have more time to work on it and will see what happens in the next window. But they are interested in him. That I can tell you.”

Another source confirmed the news, saying, “obviously, they (Pirates) will either loan some out or release some as well. But that’s the time they need to work on their squad and since it didn’t happen in January then they will work on it in the off season. Rhodes is one player on that list already.“
