Orlando Pirates have officially announced the signing of Cameroonian forward Souaibou Marou from Coton Sport.

Marou joins the club in a deal that will see him at the club until 2025 and has already participated in his first training session with the Buccaneers on Thursday.

“His form in the Cameroonian league didn’t go unnoticed as he was selected to the 2022 FIFA World Cup squad that competed in Qatar.

“The Cameroonian international, who concluded his deal with the club yesterday afternoon, will join his new teammates this morning.

“Bienvenue Marou!”
