Orlando Pirates have three reserve team players training with the senior side before their Kaizer Chiefs double-header.
Orlando Pirates welcome a trio of new stars to training
Simphiwe Selepe, Cemran Dansin and 17-year-old Sibusiso Tau are all in training with the senior Sea Robbers squad. Dansin captains the Bucs’ reserve side. Teenager Tau recently arrived from Emalahleni United in Mpumalanga. This is according to Goal. It’s unlikely any of the three will feature from the start against Kaizer Chiefs. However, it’ll be a huge boost for the players.
