Orlando Pirates Players Made Nkosinathi Sibisi Feel Welcomed! The former Abafana Bes’thende defender has felt at home in his new surroundings.
Nkosinathi Sibisi joined Orlando Pirates from Golden Arrows in the transfer window. He says that the playing staff at the club has made him feel welcomed.
There were plenty of familiar faces in the team, from his past and also the Bafana Bafana national setup.
“The environment has been quite good. The teammates have been quite welcoming,” he spoke in an interview.
“I knew some of them from the national team and some of them we come from the same areas. So, it wasn’t that big of an adjustment because I saw familiar faces, even though I wasn’t necessarily close with them.
“But it makes the environment much easier to work in.”
Sibisi is known as a tough tackler. He was the captain of his previous team, speaking to his leadership traits.
“I would describe myself as a team player, someone who fights until the very end. Playing out from the back is something you have to have as a defender in the modern game.
“I try by all means to adjust to the modern game, to bring the best out of myself and that’s what I will bring to Orlando Pirates.
“Coming to a big team like Orlando Pirates means that there is more competition. Not to say the team I come from, Golden Arrows, did not have any competition, but I think here there is much more quality as compared to Golden Arrows.
“So, you have to put in that extra effort, to go that extra mile, in order to try to cement your place. When you join such a club you ask yourself questions like, “will I play when I get there?”
“Especially because coming from Golden Arrows, I’m used to playing week in week out, but I think competition brings the best out of us. So, you just have to keep fighting and keep pushing to reach your goals.” He added.
He hopes this transfer will also cement his place in the national team. Orlando Pirates Players Made Nkosinathi Sibisi Feel Welcomed!
