Thabang Matuludi’s Swift Recovery Revives Potential Move to Orlando Pirates

Polokwane City defender Thabang Matuludi has made a quicker-than-expected recovery from an injury sustained against SuperSport United, an injury that may have cost him a potential January move to Orlando Pirates.

Sources close to both clubs have revealed that Matuludi is progressing well in his rehabilitation, increasing the likelihood of a transfer to the Buccaneers in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Encouraging Recovery Timeline

Insiders have indicated that Matuludi has resumed rehabilitation earlier than anticipated, a positive sign for both the player and potential suitors.

“He has started his rehab earlier than we expected. The injury was very bad, and the fact that he has started just a month after his injury means things are going well for him. Yes, we believe he will be back before the end of the season. Even next month, he can be back. He is progressing very well,” a Siya source shared.

Pirates Still Interested?

Despite missing out on a move in January, Orlando Pirates remain interested in securing Matuludi’s services. His quick recovery could put him back in contention for a transfer once the season concludes. The 26-year-old defender has been a key figure for Polokwane City, and his return to full fitness will be closely monitored by both his current club and potential buyers.

With the next transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on Matuludi’s progress and whether he can finalize a long-anticipated move to the Soweto giants.
