What Orlando Pirates need from me is what they are going to get - Maela

The 28-year-old utility player spent the better part of last season as a centre-back and insists he will thrive in any role he is asked to play

Orlando Pirates defender Innocent Maela has credited “quality coaching” at the club for making it “smoother” for him in switching from the left-back position to central defence.

The Buccaneers struggled for consistency at the heart of defence last season and much criticism was directed at captain Happy Jele and Thulani Hlatshwayo who had arrived at the club with a lot of expectations on him at the beginning of the campaign.
