Lorch becomes Sundowns’ fourth mid-season signing following the arrival of Zuko Mdunyelwa, Matias Esquivel and Tashreeq Matthews.

“Thembinkosi Lorch is to leave Orlando Pirates Football Club after a discussion between the Chairman Dr. Irvin Khoza and the Mamelodi Sundowns hierarchy,” Pirates announced in a statement.

“The Club thanks ‘Nyoso’ for his immense contribution by adding another page in the history of the Club.

“We wish him and his family well in his future sporting pursuit.”
