SuperSport United would like to confirm the signature of Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu on a one-year-deal with an option to extend.

Ndlovu made his PSL debut in the 2016/17 season from KwaZulu-Natal based outfit, Maritzburg United and played over 80 games in his three-year-stay at the club.

The 25-year-old was recruited by Orlando Pirates in the 2019/20 season and helped them to win the MTN 8 trophy in 2020, having played just under 50 matches under his belt. He also played an important role in helping the Buccaneers to reach the final of the CAF Confederations Cup in May, losing narrowly to RSB Berkane (Morocco) on penalties.

The hard-working midfielder will be looking to add to his seven Bafana Bafana caps during his Matsatsantsa stay.

SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt, “I’m very excited to have Ndlovu in our team. This is one area in which he will bring good energy in the middle of the park, he is versatile and can play in many formations like he did back in his days in Maritzburg United. He’s the right age for us, obviously we will have to settle him in as quickly as possible and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Siphesihle Ndlovu is excited about his new move, “This is a very big move for my career and I am very excited to join SuperSport United. Coach Gavin Hunt is an ambitious coach who likes to win. The club has won a lot of trophies in the past seven seasons and I would like to play a part in making new memories and history.”
