“Orlando Pirates Football Club can confirm the departure of Karim Kimvuidi, who joins FC Ashdod on a season-long loan deal with the option to buy at the end of the term,” read the statement.
Kimvuidi joined Pirates from Maritzburg United in 2023 but struggled for consistent game time in a star-studded midfield.
His temporary switch to Israel could open the door for him to gain valuable minutes and reignite his form.
Meanwhile, in other transfer news, Marumo Gallants have confirmed the return of a familiar face.
The Free State-based club announced via their official X account that Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo has rejoined the side ahead of the new campaign.
The attacking midfielder, who was part of Gallants between 2021 and 2022 before leaving for Pirates, will be looking to pick up where he left off.

The move marks a reunion between player and club, with Gallants hoping Ndlondlo’s creativity and work rate will bolster their attacking options in the season ahead.
