Maritzburg United head coach Eric Tinkler has disclosed that one of his key players is set to join Orlando Pirates at the end of the current season.

Midfield maestro Fortune Makaringe, who has been linked with several Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs this season, will officially depart the Team of Choice for the Buccaneers in July 2019.

Tinkler explained that the South Africa international was keen to impress against Pirates, who faced Maritzburg in a PSL match in midweek.
