Orlando Pirates announced the signing of midfielder Sipho Mbule to the club this week.

The 27-year-old was signed to Mamelodi Sundowns but was sent on loan to Sekhukhune United in 2022.

He was released from the club at the end of the season.

His signing comes a day after the club announced the arrival of new head coach Abedslam Ouaddou.

Ouaddou has previously spoken highly of Mbule, describing him as a 'fantastic player'.

“He’s the kind of player that I would have in my team,” he told Robert Marawa on 947’s Marawa Sports Worldwide.
