The 30-year-old recently received the club’s Golden Boot award after scoring five goals and assisting a further seven from 23 appearances in all competitions last term.

Memela says he enjoyed his best campaign with Pirates last season and will be looking to continue his form, but will face stiff competition from new signings Kudakwashe Mahachi and Vincent Pule.

‘I would say [the 2017’18 season] was my best, because I hadn’t done well in the two seasons before. It was one of my best seasons, because I even scored against Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns,’ Memela told SowetanLive.

‘For a big team, there will always be competition and you have to show how strong you are.’

‘We have come a long way; I was turning 19 and we were on trial for five months when the coach was Craig Rosslee… we’ve been friends ever since,’ he added.
