Ex-Pirates keeper finds new club

Cape Town - Former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has reportedly signed a two-year deal with two-time CAF Champions League winners Enyimba in the Nigerian Premier League.

The 31-year-old joined Pirates in 2013 from Ghana's Ashanti Gold as back-up to the late Senzo Meyiwa, and never really established himself at Mayfair.

He then had a short spell at Chippa United where he accused the Chilli Boys of failing to pay him his salary, before he made a return to Ashanti Gold in 2014.

Nonetheless, the Ghana international has put pen to paper on a two-year contract with Enyimba as he looks to once more make a mark in another African country.

During his time with Bucs, Dauda made just three Premiership appearances although he remains an established international with Ghana.

The Obuasi-born star was recently named in an 18-man squad for the 2017 AFCON which begins in January.

Currently Pirates have a talented goalkeeping department with the likes of Brighton Mhlongo, Jackson Mabokgwane, Felipe Ovono and Siyabonga Mpontshane all jostling for the position.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
