Orlando Pirates, one of the giants in the DStv Premiership, continues to strengthen their squad with exciting new talent. In their latest transfer deal, the club has secured the services of a promising young goalkeeper, Sphamandla Gumede, who has drawn comparisons to the legendary Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper, Itumeleng Khune. The move comes after Gumede’s standout performances in the Nedbank Cup for his former club, Dondol Stars.
Affectionately known as “SpiderKid” for his remarkable reflexes and agility between the posts, Gumede’s signing has created a buzz among Orlando Pirates’ fans and the broader football community. The announcement was made by Dondol Stars on their social media platforms, expressing their pride and delight in the goalkeeper’s achievement.
As Gumede embarks on this new chapter of his career with Orlando Pirates, the expectations are high, and many will be keenly watching how he develops and makes his mark in the top flight of South African football.
