New Orlando Pirates signing Hlatshwayo unfazed by pressure of representing Soweto giants

Orlando Pirates defender Thulani Hlatshwayo says he will not be weighed down by the pressure that comes with playing for a traditional giant like his new club.

The South Africa captain joined the Buccaneers last week from the now-defunct Bidvest Wits and arrives at the club with much expectation on his shoulders.

The 30-year-old centre-back feels that he can be a game-changer at Pirates and would bring “something different" to the club.

“Obviously I believe I have grown as a player, as a human being and as a sportsman,” Hlatshwayo told Marawa Sports Worldwide on Metro FM.
