Orlando Pirates have secured the signature of Lesedi Kapinga, who recently parted ways with Mamelodi Sundowns
The 28-year-old arrived at Sundowns in 2020 from Black Leopards, signing a three-year deal with a two-year option to extend with the Club. However, Kapinga spent most of his time on the sidelines at the Brazilians, which saw the current champions not exercising their option to extend their contract with the player.
The attacking midfielder was also linked with Kaizer Chiefs, but the mighty Buccaneers emerged as the favorites to beat their neighbors in securing Kapinga’s signature.
The player joined Pirates on a three-year contract after participating in the recent Hollywoodebts COSAFA Cup with Bafana Bafana.
