Makola pens contract extension with Pirates

Cape Town - Orlando Pirates have triggered the extension clauses for midfielders Luvuyo Memela and Mpho Makola.

According to the club’s official website, both players will be tied to the club until June 2019.

Memela has become a vital member in head coach Micho Sredojevic’s team, having recently scored a brace and recorded an assist in Pirates’ 3-1 win over Baroka FC.

Makola has been at the club since 2012 and continues to command a regular place in the Serbian’s starting line-up.

“I can confirm that the Club has triggered the extension clauses of both Memela and Makola for another season,” said Administrative Officer Floyd Mbele.

“Furthermore, I can reveal that we have triggered our one-year extension clause for Gift Motupa, who is still on loan at Baroka FC.”
