Orlando Pirates have announced another new signing, taking their total number of arrivals to 13 ahead of what promises to be a demanding season.
The Buccaneers have been the busiest club in the PSL transfer market, bringing in more new players than any other top-flight side as they prepare to compete across five different competitions.
Following several high-profile departures during the off-season, head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou and the Pirates hierarchy have moved quickly to rebuild the squad and add depth in key positions.
Bulelani Sigomoshe is the latest player to join the Soweto giants after making the move from Milford FC. His arrival follows that of Bheki Mabuza, who was signed earlier this month.
Orlando Pirates have had a busy transfer window
Not all of the new arrivals have had to wait long to make an impression. Thapelo Mokobodi and Gamphani Lungu have already caught the attention of Pirates supporters with their performances and have established themselves as important members of the starting XI.
With the season still in its early stages, it remains to be seen how many of the 13 new signings will go on to become key players for the Buccaneers.
