Orlando Pirates legend, Andile Jali, who spearheaded the club to a double treble between 2010 and 2012, is set to be announced by a new club.
CHIPPA UNITED TO ANNOUNCE ANDILE JALI
The 34-year-old from Matatiele left the Sea Robbers for Belgium’s Oostende in 2014. Jali later returned to the DStv Premiership with a blockbuster deal with Sundowns in 2018, instead of Orlando Pirates. The combative midfielder later signed for Moroka Swallows after falling out with coach Rulani Mokwena in 2023. Despite sitting out six months without a club since leaving Swallows in January, reports say the Chilli Boys are set to announce Jali.
“The fact that Chippa United released 16 players last week tells you that the team is eager to improve. Jali’s arrival could change the mentality in the squad,” the report added.
ORLANDO PIRATES COMPLETE FIVE SIGNINGS, ANNOUNCE ONE SO FAR
We know it so well. Orlando Pirates always show aggression in the transfer market. Reports say the Sea Robbers have made five new signings for the senior team. Two other signings are likely to be for the third division team Pele Pele, as well as the DStv Diski Challenge (DDC).
The first of the pack was the permanent signing of Thalente Mbatha who initially joined in January on loan from SuperSport United. Orlando Pirates have since made the announcement of the Angolan international winger Gilberto from Petro de Luanda.
“Orlando Pirates Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Delvi Miguel Vieira,” the club said.
“Gilberto is due to fly back to Angola today to finalise the necessary paperwork so that he can join the squad for its outbound Preseason Tour to Spain from July 8,” Orlando Pirates added.
According to highly reliable sources, the Buccaneers have made three more signings, subject to official announcements. The list includes Selaelo Rasebotja from SuperSport, Orbit College’s exciting attacker Thuso Moleleki and performance analyst Devon O’Brien from Stellenbosch FC.
