Thembinkosi Lorch should go somewhere he is appreciated

A coach instrumental to the development of Thembinkosi Lorch says the Orlando Pirates star needs to go where he is appreciated.

Lorch arguably hasn’t played his best football at Orlando Pirates of late, and something appears to be amiss.

Injuries have played their part and he remains some way away from a return to action despite returning to training at the end of January.

Ramoreboli feels that Lorch would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to work with Rhulani Mokwena should he get a chance for a reunion.

“If I were to advise him, I would say to him that he needs to be where he is appreciated. 

“If Pirates still appreciate Thembinkosi Lorch and if they still support him throughout everything and if they still support him even though he is injured, if that is the current environment then Lorch also needs to repay Orlando Pirates,” Ramoreboli told ThisIsFootball.Africa.

“But I don’t know if Sundowns is coming in for him, we don’t know if they are talking to him. 

“We also don’t know if he feels that he can go to Sundowns and contribute.

“I think at the moment he is mature enough to make his own decisions; he is mature enough to know which team will suit his ability,” the coach added.

“He has worked with coach Rhulani Mokwena, he understands how coach Rhulani works, so if he decides to go to play for Sundowns it’ll be because maybe he can add value at Sundowns, but one thing for sure he is mature enough to make his own decisions and I can only support the decision that he has made because I know that he loves the game and he is very passionate about the game.”
