Orlando Pirates’ Makaringe 'puts too much pressure on himself' - Mhlongo

The 28-year-old midfielder has seen some limited game time this season and an ex-Buccaneers player shares his opinion

Former Orlando Pirates defender Benson Mhlongo has challenged Fortune Makaringe to “deliver” for the team and not play for himself, and also asked for support for the linkman.

Makaringe has managed two Premier Soccer League appearances for Pirates this season which is his third term at the club.

The ex-Maritzburg United player featured in 28 games last season and 26 matches when he arrived at the Soweto giants the previous term.

With Pirates’ assistant coach Fadlu Davids having previously worked with Makaringe at the KwaZulu-Natal club, Mhlongo believes Mandla Ncikazi’s co-coach is the right man to help the player.
