Goodman Mosele Set to Exit Orlando Pirates as Midfield Shake-Up Continues
Change is the only constant at Orlando Pirates these days. Following the exits of stalwarts Innocent Maela and Miguel Timm, the Buccaneers are now preparing to part ways with midfielder Goodman Mosele, signalling a major midfield reshuffle ahead of the new PSL season.
A Fresh Look for Pirates’ Midfield
The buzz around Jozi football circles is that the arrival of young gun Sihle Nduli has stirred fierce competition within the Pirates squad. With fresh talent pushing for game time, management is making tough calls – and Mosele appears to be next on the chopping block. Unlike previous seasons, where loan moves offered a lifeline, this time Mosele’s contract isn’t set for renewal when it expires at the end of June 2025.
From Rising Star to Free Agent
Mosele’s journey with the Buccaneers began in 2021 when he was signed from Baroka FC. His 2023 loan to Chippa United helped him showcase his talents on a bigger stage and even earned him a call-up to the national side, Bafana Bafana. Yet, despite his promise, the club’s commitment to rebuilding means no guarantees – even for homegrown talents like him.
What’s Next for Mosele?
At 25, Mosele is poised to enter the free-agent market, a potentially valuable pickup for rival PSL clubs looking to bolster their midfield depth. His departure highlights a growing trend at Pirates – no player is untouchable as the club pursues a leaner, more competitive squad.

The Fans Speak
Social media is buzzing with mixed reactions. Some Pirates supporters understand the need for squad refreshment, while others express disappointment at losing a player many saw as a promising talent. It’s a reminder of the tough realities in professional football, where competition is fierce and loyalty is tested.
Looking Forward
With fresh faces like Nduli arriving and the squad overhaul in full swing, Orlando Pirates are gearing up to make a serious impact in the upcoming season. For Mosele, it’s an opportunity to find a new home and continue making waves in South African football.
In Jozi football culture, change means opportunity – for players and fans alike. As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on how these moves shape the Buccaneers’ quest for glory.
