BREAKING: Orlando Pirates announce surprise signing

Betway Premiership champions Orlando Pirates have announced the signing of right-back Bulelani Sigomoshe from newly promoted outfit Milford FC, with the 2026/27 season gathering steam.

The 26-year-old full-back comes in to provide depth and competition, as Kamogelo Sebelebele was the sole option for Abdeslam Ouaddou on the right side of the Bucs defence.

Sigomoshe ends a four-year stay with the KwaZulu-Natal side, having joined the Stallions in February 2022, and is now set for a new chapter at Mayfair.

“Orlando Pirates Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Bulelani Sigomoshe from Milford Football Club,” read the club statement.

"The 26-year-old right-back joins the Buccaneers with immediate effect, adding further depth and competition to the Club's defensive options.

"Sigomoshe's acquisition forms part of the club's ongoing efforts to strengthen the playing squad as the Buccaneers continue to pursue their objectives across all competitions.

"The defender will link up with the technical team and his new teammates immediately as he begins the next chapter of his career in the famous black and white.

"Orlando Pirates welcomes Bulelani to the Buccaneers family and wishes him every success at the club.

Whether Sigomoshe will play an important role under Ouaddou remains to be seen, with Pirates looking to compete on all fronts and defend their domestic treble they won last season.
