The Ghost disclaimed that the striker passed a medical earlier in the week. He agreed terms with the club, before the announcement was made today.
Masuku joins a club in good form, as they are in the MTN 8 final against Bloemfontein Celtic. Pirates also sit third on the PSL table, two points behind table toppers Mamelodi Sundowns.
The ecstatic Mundele shared his thoughts on the club website.
““I am happy to have joined this prestigious Club and I look forward to a successful stay. This move presents a new challenge in a new country for me,” he said.
“I have lofty ambitions and I am confident that I can achieve them with my new teammates.”
Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer was happy to have acquired the talents of such a quality player.
“We are pleased to have Makusu join the team and we look forward to working with him.
“Our squad this year has every player in each position competing for a spot in the starting line-up and it will be no different to him.
“The healthy competition we have created will help get the best out of all our players.”
Orlando Pirates are looking for a healthy foray into the CAF Confederations Cup this season. Mundele is a player with proven experience in the competition.
Last season he guided AS into the final of the competition where he finished as the second top scorer in the cup.
He will look to strong arm a starting place in the squad.
Orlando Pirates already have a healthy set of #9’s with Gabadinho Mhango, Tshegofatso Mabasa and Terrence Dzvukamanja.
