Former Golden Arrows and AmaZulu FC striker Siphesihle Nzimande is confident that he will get a new club once football returns and believes his wish to play for Orlando Pirates will happen.

The striker has also played for Polokwane City, Royal Eagles and Thandi Royal Zulu FC.

With about two or more years of not playing at a high level, the striker is optimistic about finding new club.

“There is still time, I will play for Pirates, probably for six months but what matters most is that I will definitely play for Pirates because that’s something that I want to achieve in my life,” said the striker before revealing that he grew up supporting the Buccaneers.

“Right now the focus is to make sure that I stay fit and make sure that once football is back, I can be ready. The lockdown has really been difficult, but to be honest it has given me much time to train which is a good thing.”
