An Orlando Pirates star hopes he can make a big impact in DStv Premiership when the season resumes, as he continues his recovery after an injury. 

Having last featured for the Buccaneers during a DStv Premiership clash against Cape Town City in October before he was disrupted by injury, Vincent Pule has made progress in his recovery and aims to make a contribution for the side when the league resumes next month.

The winger picked up an injury while with Bafana Bafana, which forced him out of the starting line-up of the FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Ethiopia in October.

As confirmed by the club at the time, Pule was ruled out of action for up to 12 weeks after suffering a grade three tear of the quad.

Bucs confirmed in December that Pule was among players who made notable progress in their recovery along with the likes of team captain Happy Jele and Goodman Mosele.

With Jele, Mosele and Thembinkosi Lorch all back in action, indications are that Pule is also expected to make a return when the campaign restarts in February.
