Fadlu Davids:

Davids who was the previous head coach of Maritzburg United joined Pirates in January 2019 as a second assistant coach, where he has been an integral part of the technical team, and so far the only constant, after three changes to their head coach position so far this year, where Milutin Sredojevic stepped down, Rulani Mokwena was in charge in the interim and now Josef Zinnbauer's appointment as the permanent head coach.

Tshegofatso Mabasa and Gabadinho Mhango:

Pirates' solution to their previous struggles in front of goal have so far boded well, with both Mabasa and Mhango, who were signed in the 2019 July/August window, coming in to score some integral goals for Bucs.

Fortune Makaringe:

Despite his current injury troubles, Makaringe, who was brought in during the 2019 July/August transfer window, has established himself as a key player in Bucs' midfield, which has seen several rotations so far.

Happy Jele signing a new contract:

Jele put pen to paper on an extended deal with the Bucs in June of 2019, whereafter the club expressed their confidence in the 32-year-old, he has remained arguably the most important player in the team.
