Orlando Pirates trio Bernard Morrison, Thamsanqa Sangweni and Thabo Matlaba have been signed by fellow Absa Premiership outfit Chippa United.
This comes after Chippa already unveiled a whopping 15 signings in one go ― which included the likes of Daine Klate, Jabulani Shongwe, Thabo Nthethe and Ruzaigh Gamildien.
The Port Elizabeth based side utilised their seemingly good relationship with Irvin Khoza’s side as they raided the team to further re-enforce their squad.
The Soweto giants took to their official website to publicise the details of the club parting ways with midfielder Sangweni, who joined at the start of the 2017-2018 campaign from Chippa.
