“I joined Orlando Pirates because it is a childhood team of mine. I have always supported the club and I remember when I was growing up as a small boy when we used to play football on the street, I would always do the skull and bones celebration whenever I scored,” Mulenga has told the club’s website.
“Last year I had a couple of offers which I was seriously considering but when the Orlando Pirates offer came in, there was no question on where my heart was. During Chan (Caf Championship of African Nations), I had some more offers come through (from teams in Egypt and France) but by then they were late as I had already signed for Orlando Pirates.”
