Orlando Pirates are closely monitoring the situation of Boitumelo Radiopane who’s currently out on loan at Cape Town Spurs.
Radiopane was loaned out to earn some much needed game-time however an ankle injury has prevented him from playing for Spurs.
After pushing the Cape side into the promotional playoffs last season, Radiopane unfortunately suffered a serious ankle injury in the playoffs.
The good news however is that ‘Radioman’ is back in training and could feature for Spurs after the AFCON break.
Orlando Pirates are reportedly closely monitoring their prolific rising star and are set to take a big decision on his future once Radiopane returns to action!
