De Reuck can grow to be a superstar at Orlando Pirates - Lekgwathi

The ex-Buccaneers skipper feels that Happy Jele needs a defensive partner in the mold of the 24-year-old Team of Choice centre-back

Former Orlando Pirates captain Lucky Lekgwathi says "young" Rushine de Reuck "would be a smart investment" for the Soweto giants and he urged the club to sign the Maritzburg United defender.

De Reuck is reportedly on the radar of Pirates as they look to reinforce their defence, which has conceded 26 league goals, the highest number in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) top-four so far this season.

Also linked with Pirates is another Maritzburg defender Siyanda Xulu but Lekgwathi says he prefers De Reuck to his 28-year-old teammate.
