Orlando Pirates are considering loaning out midfielder Bandile Shandu to accommodate the signing of Polokwane City star Thabang Matuludi.
Orlando Pirates are preparing to make significant roster changes as they aim to accommodate several prominent PSL players. The club has indicated a willingness to part ways with experienced midfielder Bandile Shandu , 29, to create space for Polokwane City star Thabang Matuludi , 25. Sources reveal that the anticipated arrival of Matuludi will likely impact Shandu's position at the club.
While Shandu was previously retained despite the presence of other right-backs, the signing of Deon van Rooyen further shifted his prospects. He was subsequently offered a two-year contract extension, which now expires in June 2026. However, with Matuludi's imminent signing, Pirates are contemplating Shandu's future as they seek to streamline their squad numbers. Another source suggests that Pirates may loan Shandu out before making a final decision regarding his sale or retention. The club's intention is to allow Shandu to gain playing time on loan, with a final assessment of his future to be made at the end of the season. However, with recent departures like Sandile Mthethwa and Katlego Otladisa's loan move, further player movements are anticipated at the club
