Orlando Pirates confirm Tito Maswanganyi departure to Bahrain
Orlando Pirates have announced the departure of midfielder Tito Maswanganyi to Al Khaldiya Sports Club, following a successful stint with the club where he won eight trophies. This move marks a new chapter in his career as he seeks opportunities abroad.
Orlando Pirates have announced that their attacking midfielder Tito Maswanganyi is leaving the club to join Bahraini side Al Khaldiya Sports Club. The 28-year-old midfielder, who has been with Pirates since 2022, has won eight trophies with the team. In a statement, the club said they respected Maswanganyi's decision to seek new opportunities abroad.
The 2023/2024 Players Player of the Season had been a key attacking option for Pirates, contributing goals and assists in domestic competitions. The departure of Maswanganyi, who was expected to remain with the Buccaneers, comes at a busy time for the club, as they are involved in the Betway Premiership, MTN8, and preparing for the CAF Champions League.
This move represents another chapter in Maswanganyi's career as he continues his development outside South Africa. Pirates will now focus on managing his departure while maintaining squad depth for what promises to be a challenging season. Maswanganyi is the third playmaker to leave the club this transfer window, following Relebogile Mofokeng and Sipho Mbule, who also moved abroad.
