'Master Chef' Sipho Mbule 'ready for upcoming challenge' at Orlando Pirates ahead of debut season

Orlando Pirates have been one of the busiest teams in the ongoing Summer Transfer Window, confirming the arrival of eight players.

One of the players that have been signed is Bafana Bafana international Sipho Mbule, who came in as a free agent.
