With these new arrivals, the Buccaneers are making a clear statement of intent as they prepare for a demanding campaign across local and continental competitions.
The transfer activity comes in the wake of the club’s announcement of Abdeslam Ouaddou as head coach. The Moroccan tactician, who guided Marumo Gallants to safety last season, is tasked with ushering in a new era of structure, intensity, and consistency at the club.
Ouaddou is expected to link up with the squad later this week, alongside technical team members Mandla Ncikazi, Rayaan Jacobs, Helmi Gueldich, and Tyron Damons.

With the club’s transfer business still active, more player movement is anticipated in the coming days as Pirates look to fine-tune their squad for both the Betway Premiership and the CAF Champions League.
