‘Juju’ Mbuyane has left Orlando Pirates to join Clive Barker’s Black Aces after
finding himself frozen out at Orlando Pirates in recent months.
During
his peak at Pirates, there’s no doubting his impact on the team with his
constant energetic runs, tireless work ethic and his habit of scoring goals in
big games.
He
played his role during in Pirates’ ‘Double Treble’ success.
Juju
was a character in the Bucs squad (particularly with his goal celebration ‘Juju
dance’) but sentiment plays no part in football. It’s time to move on when you
don’t cut it anymore.
One
thing’s for sure, Juju won’t find it hard to fit in at Amazoyoni who already
have a host of former Buccaneers on their books including Clifford Ngobeni,
Onyekachi Okonkwo, Tumelo Mopedi and Mbulelo Mabizela.
In
the end, it’s a wise move for the former Free State Stars player who, at 31,
will be looking to play as much as possible in order to prolong his career.
