Orlando Pirates defender Thulani Hlatshwayo has confirmed there were 'other teams' that wanted to sign him from Bidvest Wits before he completed his move to Mayfair.
The 30-year-old utility player, however, didn't want to disclose the names of those clubs out of respect but he said the reasons he chose Pirates are that it was always his dream to play for the club and that the Houghton-based side had been after his signature for a long time.
According to media reports, Mamelodi Sundowns were also in the race to sign Hlatshwayo while Kaizer Chiefs were also reported being in the picture although they are still waiting for the outcome of their transfer ban appeal with Court of Arbitration for Sport.
