Insider: Pirates Close To Unleashing Lorch

Thembinkosi Lorch of Orlando Pirates challenged by Kegan Johannes of SuperSport United during the DStv Premiership 2022/23 match between Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United at the Orlando Stadium, Soweto on 18 March 2023

Orlando Pirates could be set to unleash star midfielder Thembinkosi 'Nyoso' Lorch as the team will aim to increase their chances of making further progress in the 2023/24 season.  

So far in the campaign, Lorch hasn't featured in any matches due to a latest injury which delayed his progress.

With the league currently in recess due to the FIFA calendar, indications are that the 30-year-old could be one of the players in the race for a return for Bucs when club football resumes mid-September.

"The boy (Lorch) is working and itching for his return and is still as committed as he has always been," said the source.
