On Saturday, 21 July, Orlando Pirates will travel to the DHL Stadium in Cape Town to face Cape Town City in search of their first win after the FIFA World Cup break. The Buccaneers will be buoyed by the addition of Craig Martin, who joined the Soweto giants from the Cape side in December.
The 29-year-old had been one of the outstanding players for City since debuting for the side under Benni McCarthy in 2017. He made eight league appearances, one in the MTN8 and three in the CAF Champions League in the first half of the season.

According to close sources, Martin is in line to make his debut for Pirates at the DHL Stadium this weekend. The versatile player will join veteran striker Ndumiso Mabena, who was signed by Bucs last month, in the squad for the game.
Coach Jose Riveiro is expected to make changes to his team in search of points to keep them in the race for the league title.
