Recently released Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brylon Petersen has rebounded quickly finding a club in Kwazulu-Natal.

Petersen has joined Maritzburg United who are currently under the direction of former Kaizer Chiefs mentor Ernst Middendorp.

The striking prospect was signed from the Limpopo club and immediately loaned back to Bakgaga for the coming season.

However, Orlando Pirates face something of a striking crisis which may foreshadow a difficult campaign if they are unable to further reinforce their ranks.

Kickoff.com reports that Orlando Pirates are keen to alter the terms of the transfer.

Moroka Swallows have reinforced their ranks with the loan signing of Orlando Pirates’ Zambian midfielder Austin Muwowo.

Muwowo is believed to be a candidate for regular first-team football at Monnapule Saleng.

“The coach is looking for more energetic players with the new system he intends to introduce this coming season.”
