Fan favorite from the past Orlando Pirates was spotted with a new squad.
Former Orlando Pirates fan favourite Vincent Pule has reportedly joined SuperSport United.
The 32-year-old winger left the Buccaneers over two weeks ago. Pule was said to have completed a medical with Matsatsantsa last week shortly after jumping ship, said SABC Sport. The star was part of the travelling squad to Botswana where they will participate in the Mayogoleele Pre-Season Tournament.
Pule was a fan favourite during his time at Orlando Pirates. He went on to record over 140 matches, including 35 goal contributions (goals and assists combined), to cement his legacy for the Soweto Giants. After his departure, the Buccaneers thanked the tricky winger on their website for his six years of service.
“After six wonderful years, Vincent Pule is leaving Orlando Pirates Football Club. The 32-year-old came here in 2018 from Bidvest Wits and immediately made an impact for the Mighty Buccaneers,” the club said in a statement.
“On behalf of the entire Orlando Pirates family, we would like to thank Vincent for everything he has done for this football club. A phenomenal player, who gave us incredible moments in the field of play while also displaying qualities of a model professional off it,” Pirates said in a statement.
Vincent Pule made a name for himself during his Bidvest Wits days where he played 41 matches, scoring six times. His move to Orlando Pirates made him an instant fan favourite scoring eight goals in 26 league matches. It remains to be seen if the former Bucs winger could rediscover his form.
