Gallants issue statement following Ndlondlo's Pirates move

Marumo Gallants chairman Abram Sello has revealed his pride after star midfielder Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo completed a Deadline Day move to Orlando Pirates.

Orlando Pirates grabbed headlines on Thursday when the club announced the acquisition of highly-rated midfielder Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo in what was one of the biggest deals in an otherwise quiet Deadline Day in the PSL.

The 27-year-old joins the Buccaneers on a three-year-deal and on the back of a strong start to the season in which he had already received two Man of the Match awards for his performances with Gallants.
