Orlando Pirates have announced the signing of midfielder Makhehlene Makhaula from AmaZulu on a one-and-a-half-year deal.
Skhehli, who has been a standout performer for Usuthu in recent seasons, is expected to bring a wealth of experience to the Bucs engine room.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the club said, “The Club would like to thank AmaZulu management for the professional manner in how the transfer of Makhaula was handled. Usuthu, through the leadership and guidance of Chairman Sandile Zungu, was transparent and cooperative throughout the negotiations, making the process quick and smooth for both clubs. We would like to commend the board for their conduct and wish them all the best for the remainder of the season.”
Pirates next fixture is on Saturday against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Orlando Stadium. Kick off is at 3:30pm.
