Nkosinathi Sibisi spells out his objectives at Pirates

Orlando Pirates defender Nkosinathi Sibisi has spelt out his personal objectives as he approaches the end of his maiden season at the club.

The talented centre-back was speaking ahead of their Nedbank Cup semi-final clash against arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday, 6 May 2023. 

Sibisi stands a chance to win another trophy with the Soweto giants since joining them in July 2022 from Golden Arrows. 

The 27-year-old has already won the 2022/23 MTN8 title with Pirates, defeating AmaZulu 1-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium last year November. 

‘I CAME HERE TO WIN TROPHIES’

When he was asked if his objective was to continue winning trophies with the club, Sibisi responded: “I think it’s definitely what I came here for, to come and win trophies.” 

“And also to try to make history with the club. So, that was one of my objectives when I joined Pirates. I think it’s slowly coming to order now.”

“However, I’m not saying that there’s no pressure where I coming from [Golden Arrows], but here it’s a bigger club, and the fanbase is huge. 

“As a player, you have to give your all every time you get a chance because there are good guys waiting for that chance.”

Sibisi continued: “I think I have done well because, coming from Durban, it’s not always easy to come here and be in the starting eleven. So, I think the transition has been good.”
