Pule joins the Pirates Exodus after some stellar service.
Pule joined Pirates from Wits in 2018, after winning the title with the Clever Boys the previous season. In the six years that followed, he made 146 appearances for the Pirates, scoring 23 goals and adding 12 assists. Pule has become a bit-part player in recent years, making only 29 appearances in the last three entire league seasons. Nonetheless, the dynamic attacking midfielder was popular among both his teammates and fans. He followed Siyabonga Mpontshane, Richard Ofori, Kermit Erasmus, Thabang Monare, and Fortune Makaringe out the door.
ORLANDO PIRATES STILL HAVE BUSINESS TO DO.
According to SoccerLaduma, the Pirates will announce many new additions before embarking on a pre-season tour of Europe. So far, they’ve revealed one new player: winger Deivi Miguel Vieira nicknamed Gilberto from Petro de Luanda. Selaelo Rasebotja, Bayanda Thabethe, Thuso Moleleki, and Ethan Visagie are all expected to follow suit soon, according to the publication. Gilberto, a 23-year-old Angolan star, arrives for R11 million and a huge reputation. He operates on the right side of the assault.
PLAYMAKER MOLELEKI TO ATTEND THE PARTY
According to the famous UnplayableZA on X, the talented 24-year-old Thuso Moleleki will soon be an Orlando Pirates player. He has pleased NFD outfit Orbit College to the point where Jose Riveiro and his crew are confident he will bring value to the Nedbank Cup champions. Last season was Orbit College’s first season in the second division, and they secured their place after a successful first year. Moleleki made one appearance in the Nedbank Cup last season. With the impending arrival of Moleleki, Pirates’ options for the number 10 position have expanded. Relebohile Mofokeng, a prodigiously gifted youth, can easily function there, but he is also comfortable on the flanks.
KERMIT’S ADVENTURE ENDS ON A SAD NOTE.
The seasoned attacker spent time in France, Portugal, and the Netherlands before returning to South African football in 2019. When he leaves Pirates at the end of the campaign, there will be plenty of suitors to bring him on board. Where will he wind up? There’s still plenty of utility in those aging legs. The veteran made a teary cameo on the popular Bucs Change Room TV show.

This has inevitably curtailed his participation with the club significantly.

It was probably unsurprising that Pirates announced the release of Pule before of next season.
“After six amazing years, Vincent Pule is leaving the Orlando Pirates Football Club.The 32-year-old arrived in 2018 from Bidvest Wits and made an immediate impression for the Mighty Buccaneers.During his stint with the club, Vincent appeared in over 140 games and contributed 35 goals and assists, cementing his reputation with the Soweto Giants.
On behalf of the entire Orlando Pirates family, we would like to express our gratitude to Vincent for his contributions to this football club. A wonderful athlete who provided us with incredible moments on the field while also demonstrating the traits of a model professional away from it. Thank you, Vincent. “Once Always” posted a farewell tribute to the left-footed wizard on the club’s website.
SEVEN IS NOW OUT
Pirates initially released Sauoibou Marou and Fortune Makaringe. Richard Ofori, Kermit Erasmus, Siyabonga Mpontshane, and Thabang Monare all left shortly after.
