He couldn’t make an impact there either and was offloaded in January.
“He had other offers from top-flight teams but wanted to stay in the Cape. Umoya made him a good offer and also made it clear they need him in their fight for promotion and he could add value,” said a source.
Meanwhile, Pirates have confirmed that assistant coach Rulani Mokwena has ‘been seconded’ to join Chippa United.
Pirates announced Mokwena’s move to Chippa on their website on Wednesday.
