Zungu is getting closer to Orlando Pirates starting XI - Zinnbauer

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has commended midfielder Nkanyiso Zungu as a hard worker who is now ripe for the huge responsibility of playing for the Soweto giants, and the coach now hopes his player stays motivated to cement a starting place in the team.

Zungu narrowly beat the transfer deadline in January to sign for the Buccaneers from Stellenbosch FC in a much-hyped move which heightened expectations.

But he struggled to break into the team, before finally tasting action for Pirates in Tuesday’s 0-0 Premier Soccer League (PSL) draw with Mamelodi Sundowns, although making a cameo appearance.
