‘Unhappy’ Motshwari close to Pirates switch

Motshwari, who is a subject of interest from Orlando Pirates, has spent time on the bench in the second half of the season and is said to be unhappy about this.

According to Isolezwe Pirates have made an enquiry about the player and would like to see him join them next season.

“Pirates officials like Ben. They have been talking to his representative about him possibly joining the Sea Robbers. Players are extending their contracts at Wits but he hasn’t. Plus he is no longer happy at Wits and is open to moving to another club,” a source was quoted by Isolezwe.

The source added that Motshwari is looking to rekindle his partnership with former Wits teammate Xola Mlambo who signed for Pirates in the recent transfer period.
