Orlando Pirates Sign Wayde Jooste From Highlands Park!
Orlando Pirates Sign Wayde Jooste From Highlands Park! The modern day right back joins as a free agent. Highlands Park sold their PSL status to TS Galaxy, so a number of their players became free agents. Orlando Pirates was able to sign the 29 year old without any hassles.
Orlando Pirates released an incredible 8 players only yesterday. Players of high regard, such as Xola Mlambo, Augustine Mulenga and Tercious Malepe. Wayde Jooste will battle for a right back slot alongside Mthokozisi Dube.
Another right back slot opened up after Diamond Thopola, also a right back, was included in the 8 players the Buccaneers released yesterday.
Orlando Pirates released a statement following the acquisition of Wayde Jooste.
“I am happy to have joined Orlando Pirates,” said the Jooste. “This is an opportunity I look to grab with both hands.”
“I know everybody says this is a dream come true but before I started playing professionally my father and I supported Orlando Pirates. Whenever we played against Pirates it felt special because I felt I was getting closer to my childhood dream”.
“Today I find myself playing for the club that I not only support but a club that even my home boy Daine Kate also played for”, the right back added.
Jooste joins Thulani Hlatshwayo and Deon Hotto as the new Pirates acquisitions this transfer window. With Sundowns having already signed an astonishing amount of players and Kaizer Chiefs barred from any transfer activity; the Buccaneers are surely set to announce more signings.
The Tembisa based side still have a number of players available on transfer after selling their status. Players such as Peter Shalulile and Mothobi Mvala also joined Sundowns as free transfers as Orlando Pirates sign Wayde Jooste from Highlands Park!
