Pirates show interest in Highlands Park defender

Orlando Pirates are set to poach Highlands Park rightback Luckyboy Mokoena who has been impressive this season.


Mokoena’s brilliant displays are said to have attracted the interest of the Buccaneers’ technical team and a deal could be on the cards.

“Mokoena has had a good season and his height makes him a perfect fit for what Pirates are looking for. He takes care of his defensive duties with ease and also attacks like a natural,” said a source.

He added that although contact has not been made between the two sides regarding Mokoena, it could be done and completed before the transfer window closes on January 31.
