Arrows sign former Orlando Pirates midfielder

Arrows sign former Orlando Pirates midfielder as they prepare for the new season. 

Betway Premiership club Lamontville Golden Arrows has made a splash in the transfer market by officially signing midfielder Menzi Masuku. Masuku, who recently left Royal AM after three successful seasons, joins Golden Arrows as their second new addition this season, following Keagan Allan’s arrival.

Masuku exited Royal AM on a free transfer after his contract ended, and he did not renew. Prior to his time with Royal AM, he moved from Bloemfontein Celtic when Royal AM acquired Celtic’s franchise. The former Orlando Pirates player now brings his experience and skill to Golden Arrows, aiming to bolster their midfield.

Golden Arrows navigate Changes after Komphela’s departure

Golden Arrows faces a period of transition, having recently lost Steve Komphela to Mamelodi Sundowns. Komphela, who played a significant role in the team’s recent successes, has returned to Sundowns as part of their technical team. The club hopes that Masuku’s addition will help fill the void and strengthen their squad.

Fagrie Lakay extends contract with Pyramids

In other notable news, Bafana Bafana striker Fagrie Lakay has extended his stay with Pyramids FC until June 2025. Lakay originally joined Pyramids FC in January 2022 from Cape Town City and has since made a remarkable impact.

Lakay quickly established himself in Egypt, contributing significantly to Pyramids FC’s second-place finish in the Egyptian Premier League. His vital role in their CAF Confederations Cup journey, where he scored two goals to help the team reach the quarter-finals, showcased his importance.

Lakay’s impressive performance and details

During his second season, Lakay was instrumental in Pyramids FC’s historic qualification for the CAF Champions League, marking a significant achievement for the club. This season, he has netted nine goals in 32 appearances across all competitions. Despite recent setbacks due to defeats by Al Ahly, Lakay’s performance has been exceptional.

Initially, Lakay’s agreement with Pyramids FC was set to last only for the current season. However, the club offered him a substantial new contract to extend his stay. This decision came despite strong interest from several Betway Premiership clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, who would need to make a considerable financial commitment to secure his services.

Impact at Egyptian giants

In his tenure at Pyramids FC, Lakay has scored 29 goals and provided nine assists in 108 appearances. His impressive track record solidifies his role as a key player for the club, demonstrating his value in both domestic and continental competitions.

As both Golden Arrows and Pyramids FC make strategic moves in the transfer market, fans can expect an exciting season ahead filled with high-stakes matches and standout performances.
