Orlando Pirates Linked with Lesotho Striker Motebang Sera Following Royal AM Expulsion

Orlando Pirates could be the next destination for Lesotho international Motebang Sera, who has emerged as a potential target after Royal AM’s expulsion from the Premier Soccer League (PSL). The 30-year-old striker is now a free agent and is reportedly being offered to top-flight clubs, including the Soweto giants.

Sera’s camp is actively exploring new opportunities, and his experience in South African football may work in his favour. A source close to the situation confirmed that several Betway Premiership teams have shown interest, and Pirates are among the clubs being considered.

“The player’s representatives are assessing options,” the source explained. “There are several clubs that have shown interest in his services, and there is a possibility of him being offered to Pirates. His representatives believe that he is at a stage where he should play for a big club and compete among the best players in the league.”

While no official approach has been made by Pirates yet, the club is understood to be exploring attacking reinforcements for the new season. Concerns around depth and consistency in front of goal have prompted the technical team to evaluate potential additions.

Sera, a two-time Lesotho Premier League Golden Boot winner, first arrived in the PSL in 2019 from Matlama FC, joining Bloemfontein Celtic. He later continued with Royal AM following Celtic’s sale. Known for his mobility, work rate, and goal poaching instincts, Sera has quietly built a reputation as a reliable striker who can trouble defences with his movement and finishing.

His status as a free agent makes him an attractive prospect, especially for clubs looking for value in the transfer market without committing to large fees. According to reports, Richards Bay are also keeping a close eye on his situation as they prepare to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign.

“He is a free agent for now, but it looks like it won’t be long before he signs with a new club,” the source added.

With the off-season transfer window fast approaching, Motebang Sera’s next move could be confirmed in the coming weeks. Whether Pirates formalise their interest remains to be seen, but the Lesotho striker’s availability adds an intriguing option to the market for clubs in search of attacking reinforcements.

Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if Sera becomes the latest addition to a Pirates side aiming to challenge for major honours in the upcoming season.
