Orlando Pirates Strengthen Squad with the Signing of Stanley Nwabali
Orlando Pirates have made a significant addition to their squad ahead of the 2024-25 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season by signing Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali. Nwabali, who had an impressive season with Chippa United and showcased his talent at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, has been on the radar of several top clubs, including Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs.
The Buccaneers, aiming to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for the league title and make a strong showing in the CAF Champions League, have secured Nwabali to bolster their defense. The Nigerian international’s stellar performances have earned him accolades, and his addition is expected to provide stability and experience to the Pirates’ backline.
Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro expressed his excitement about the new signing, stating, “Stanley’s arrival is a major boost for our team. His experience and skills will be invaluable as we compete on multiple fronts this season.”
With this acquisition, Orlando Pirates have demonstrated their intent to compete at the highest level and continue their success in domestic and continental competitions. The Buccaneers finished second in the 2023-24 PSL season and won both the Nedbank Cup and the MTN 8, setting high expectations for the upcoming campaign.
