Zakhele Lepasa on loan to SuperSport from Pirates

Zakhele Lepasa has joined SuperSport United from Orlando Pirates on a loan deal for the remainder of the season.

Pirates confirmed on Tuesday that the striker will spend the last six months with SuperSport after he struggled for game time under Jose Riveiro this season despite earning a Bafana Bafana call-up on a few occasions.

Lepasa made 13 appearances for the Buccaneers this campaign, scoring one against TS Galaxy and an assist.

With the arrival of Kermit Erasmus at the beginning of the season alongside Bienvenu Eva Nga, he struggled to keep his place in the Bucs' starting line-up.

And a move to SuperSport is what he needed to resurrect his career. He becomes SuperSport's second new striker after the arrival of Mamour Niang last week.
