Orlando Pirates are still hoping to bag the signature Stellenbosch FC defender Thabo Moloisane, according to reports.
Soccer Laduma reports that Pirates are still trying to sign the player, despite the latest developments which point to the move not happening.
Moloisane was nominated for Betway Premiership Defender of the Season at the upcoming PSL awards at the end of the month.
His contract with Stellies actually runs until the end of June 2026, but that has seemingly not deterred the Soweto Giants.
