Mamelodi Sundowns signs Orlando Pirates star player Thembinkosi Lorch on Friday night.
Lorch, a former PSL Player of the Season, was Pirates’ signature player over the years.
Sundowns have already signed defender Zuko Mdunyelwa from Chippa United and midfielders Matias Esquivel from Argentine outfit Club Atlético Lanús and Tashreeq Matthews from Swedish club IK Sirius.
“Thembinkosi Lorch is to leave Orlando Pirates Football Club after a discussion between the chairman Irvin Khoza and the Mamelodi Sundowns hierarchy.”
“The Club thanks “Nyoso” for his immense contribution by adding another page in the history of the club. We wish him and his family well in his future sporting pursuit,” reads the Pirates statement on the club’s website.
