SuperSport United striker Bradley Grobler is backing former teammate Patrick Maswanganyi to prove a success at new club Orlando Pirates.
Maswanganyi made the switch from SuperSport to Pirates in a blockbuster move as Jose Riveiro's side aim to haul in reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns next season.

The 25-year-old midfielder is in line to make his debut for his new side when the Buccaneers travel to Cape Town to face Stellenbosch FC in their opening DStv Premiership clash at Danie Craven Stadium on Saturday.
"I was quite surprised," Grobler admits to KickOff.
"Partick, from day one, people could see that he was really talented.
"It came as a surprise. He had a really good season with us last season as his first season in the DStv Premiership.
"I think there is still room for growth.
"But I think he can do a very good job at Pirates.
"I think he suits how they play. I just wish him good luck.
"He is an exciting player who I think people will enjoy watching."
Maswanganyi made 23 appearances with four assists for Matsatsantsa last season.
