Richards Bay looking to keep Pirates defender

Richards Bay FC are looking to take young Orlando Pirates defender Sandile Mthethwa for another season on loan, a source close to the youngster has revealed.


Mthethwa had a great season at the KwaZulu-Natal based outfit, getting a lot of game time.

Now with the season over and his loan spell with Richards Bay having come to an end, the player has to return the Buccaneers.

“Sandile has been one of the top performers at that club [Richards Bay] and they love him way too much because of his hard work and dedication. Initially, they wanted to sign on a permanent deal, but Pirates were not willing to let him go because they say they have plans for him. So, they want him for another season on loan, but chances are that it might not happen because Pirates want him at the club,” said the source.
