Bester For Pirates, Morton For Maritzburg!
12 July 2011
It looks like Maritzburg United will get their man, as Orlando Pirates look set to release Michael Morton and cash to Maritzburg, in exchange for Rudolf Bester’s services. A Soccer-Laduma source has suggested that cash value of the deal is around the R2 million mark.
The Siya crew first broke the news that Maritzburg would look into getting Morton as part of the package and Morton’s agent, Steve Kapeluschnik, has confirmed that Morton’s move is as good as done.
“The coach, Ian Palmer, likes the boy a lot because he’s worked with him at Pirates, so he knows what to expect from him. They (Maritzburg) are also looking for a defensive midfielder and the boy is looking forward to starting a new chapter. He will be signing a two to three-year deal soon,” revealed Kapeluschnik.
United’s chairman, Farouk Kadodia, confirmed the club’s interest in Morton. “We’re still in negotiations with Pirates but, ja, he is part of the package for Bester’s services. Nothing has been finalised yet but we are interested in the Morton,” said the chairman.
Despite his promising start as both a defensive midfielder and a right back at Pirates, Morton has never enjoyed regular game time at Bucs, which led to a loan spell at Wits for the Johannesburg-born utility player.
