Jele: Orlando Pirates to offer veteran defender one-year deal

The Middelburg-born defender will remain at the Houghton-based outfit beyond the expiry of his current deal

Goal can confirm Happy Jele will be offered a new one-year deal by Orlando Pirates as both camps are already locked in negotiations.

The 33-year-old has been with the Buccaneers since 2006 and remains one of the integral members of Josef Zinnbauer's squad.

According to a source close to the player, Pirates have already tabled a new offer to allay fears the defender could be lost to the club beyond the expiry of his contract.

Jele's current deal is coming to an end in June but with the club still happy with his contribution, he will definitely stay until he's at least 34.
