OFFICIAL: Ex-Pirates forward seals move to Middle East

Following his exit from Orlando Pirates, a Cameroonian forward has now completed a move to the Middle East. 

Souaibou Marou left the Premiership side in June after joining the club in January last year, and is now a free agent.

However, the 23-year-old has now reached an agreement to join Bahraini club Al Shabab.

The striker has signed a one-year deal that will see him play his football in the Gulf region until 2025, with an option to extend for a further year. 

Marou made just four appearances across all competitions over the course of the 2023/24 campaign, with two coming in the league.

The other two appearances came when he was given minutes in the CAF Champions League.

Given the little amount of game time he was granted in South Africa, the Cameroon international will be hoping for more regular time on the pitch in Bahrain. 

Al Shabab, meanwhile, finished seventh on the Bahraini Premier League, winning just seven of their 22 matches, and losing nine. 

The side also managed to score just 28 goals and consequently ended the season with a goal difference of minus five.

The addition of the former Coton Sport FC star could mean more minutes for him, and perhaps more goals for the Bahraini side too.
