"Orlando Pirates Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Kamogelo Sebelebele," Pirates announced.
"The 22-year-old winger joins the Buccaneers on the back of an impressive breakout campaign with TS Galaxy, where he featured in 29 matches and found the back of the net five times – a return that highlighted his attacking prowess and consistency throughout the season," the club's statement added.
"While naturally a winger, the Limpopo-born star demonstrated his tactical adaptability last season by also excelling at both right back and left back – highlighting the versatility and dynamism he brings to Abdeslam Ouaddou’s squad."
"From all of us at Orlando Pirates Football Club – Welcome, Kamogelo!"

So far, Innocent Maela, Miguel Timm, Paseka Mako, Thabiso Monyane, Phillip Ndlondlo, and Monnapule Saleng have been released as the space for the new signings was created.
Meanwhile, the new Sea Robber made his Bafana debut during the COSAFA Cup when South Africa finished as runners-up. He was also named in the team of the tournament.

The former TS Galaxy star will join Pirates' players, who did not travel to Spain for the preseason, in Johannesburg.

They are expected to return to the country on July 20.
