Orlando Pirates have a new face in training, just days out from the Soweto derby.
Orlando Pirates have been spotted with three new players in training.
So, where are these players from?
NEW FACE TRAINING WITH PIRATES
Not one, not two but three new players are currently training with the Pirates.
“Orlando Pirates have three reserve team players, Simphiwe Selepe, Cemran Dansin and 17-year-old Sibusiso Tau, training with the first team,” the report read on Goal.
Dansin is the caption of the Bucs DDC side. Furthermore, Selepe and Tau are both Pirates DDC stars too.
As things stand, Tau has reportedly signed a first team contract with Pirates.
Meanwhile, Selepe and Dansin both have a chance to impress Bucs management during training. However, neither player is likely to feature for the Pirates senior team this season. Meaning, this training sessions are to provide these starlets with some exposure to first team practice sessions.

BUCS BLOODING NEW TALENT AS THEY USHER IN THE NEW ERA
Pirates coach, Jose Riveiro will be leaving at the end of the season.
Moreover, Bucs captain Innocent Maela contract will expire at the end of the season. Meaning, Pirates will have a new coach next season. Furthermore, there is a high chance that the new coach will need to appoint a new captain soon.
That is why Bucs management are focused on giving youngsters opportunities. Relobohile Mofokeng, and Mohau Nkota are both key members of the current Pirates side. Both men are Bucs DDC graduates.
Therefore, it is clear that Pirates have tremendous quality coming through the ranks.
SHOULD ANY OF THESE BUCS DDC STARS BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO PLAY FOR THE FIRST TEAM THIS SEASON?
