Tough Pirates Decision On Experienced Midfielder

Tough Pirates Decision On Experienced Midfielder

Orlando Pirates midfielder Miguel Timm finds himself in a difficult position as he continues to struggle for game time this season.

The 33-year-old has not featured in a single Betway Premiership match, with his only official appearances coming as a substitute in the MTN8 and CAF Champions League.

Timm's contract with the Buccaneers is set to expire in June, and while the club holds an option to extend his stay, his lack of minutes raises concerns about his long-term future.

Last season, he played a vital role in Pirates' midfield, making 30 appearances across all competitions.

However, his sharp decline in game time this season suggests he may no longer be in coach Jose Riveiro's plans.

In Pirates' recent clash against Mamelodi Sundowns last weekend, Riveiro opted to pair Makhehleni Makhaula with attacking midfielder Kabelo Dlamini in the absence of Thalente Mbatha owing to injury.  

This decision, rather than calling upon Timm, further fuelled speculation over his future at the club.

At 33, Timm remains an experienced campaigner, and regular football should be a priority at this stage of his career.

If Pirates choose not to extend his deal, several PSL clubs will likely be interested in securing his services.

With Pirates expected to announce a decision on his future at the end of the season, Timm faces an anxious wait.

Whether he remains with the Soweto giants or moves elsewhere, his next step will be crucial in prolonging his career at the highest level.
