Orlando Pirates’ Karim Kimvuidi has packed and departed the OR Tambo International Airport after another disappointing season in Soweto.

The 23-year-old midfielder has joined Israeli side SC Ashdod on loan, making him the second Orlando Pirates player to head overseas this winter after Mohau Nkota’s big move to Saudi Arabia.

The Sea Robbers announced the announcement ahead of the club’s MTN8 semifinal battle against Mamelodi Sundowns.

According to the note, Kimvuidi’s loan deal runs until the end of the season, with Ashdod holding the option to sign him permanently for three more years.

“Orlando Pirates Football Club can confirm the departure of Karim Kimvuidi, who joins FC Ashdod on a season-long loan deal with the option to buy at the end of the term,” the club’s official statement said.
