The move has been on the cards since the Bafana Bafana striker began training with the team at the end of last month, but will still come as some disappointment to Buccaneers supporters.

Rantie was instrumental in the club’s fine run of form in the final few weeks of last season, which saw them clinch the Premiership title.
The fan-favourite later made his national team debut, scoring on his second appearance for Bafana against Gabon in a friendly in June.
Pirates did make a R2-million offer for the player at the end of the last campaign but his club, Swedish lower league side Hässleholm, rejected it.
Malmo will have the option to sign him outright at the end of his loan for an undisclosed figure.
"Malmo are a good team with a proud history. I have seen what the club has achieved and it will be great for me to get the chance to practice and play in such a team," Rantie told Skanskan.se. "This I have been hoping for since I came here. This is a higher level for me than I have previously experienced. I am ready to fight for my place in the side."
Rantie will have to wait for his debut, however, as he has yet to receive his work permit, though this is seen as a formality.

What is 2m for a young deadly striker
Then he opted for an approaching 30yrs sickling Chinyama, who has not been tried and tested
We as de Galaxy we are wishing you all de best, but der was no ways dat we could have pay R12 M to have you. Nonsense eintliek Toilet, we have won de Lig without him and we also again going to win it without him.
where does it say R12 million? R2million wena maan, Pirates also Paid R450 000 for chinyamana
And please do not come to us with " It's 2 Million Euros" . This club failed to pay R 2 million for a very promising young man who is in his early 20's....now where's the logic in this? Now do you agree with Boa Morte when he says, Mayfair is a Gorilla Camp? I see this club filing for liquidation in 3 years, and it doesn't help to have fans with no buying power because they will not be able to assist it, if it were to list itself on the JSE.
"Pirates did make a R2-million offer for the player at the end of the last campaign but his club, Swedish lower league side Hässleholm, rejected it."
there you go, lerete la reporter...why wirte lies saying Pirates were failing to pay the R2million in your earlier reports???
we have only spend less dan Million rand to have expereince Takesure were by Hassleholm was demanding a R12 M for a player dat was sitting on de ground stand for dem and again and also for de last Dr khoza he 's much more more clever dan Motaung 's family ( Kaizer, Herbex, Jessi, Jnr) combined in terms of signing players.
You know moss we are friends neh!!!!, , Ha hahahahaha

The Champions League ito stature is more than any cup in the whole continent its an insult to even try to compare it with any local plastic cup. I would rather have 20 cups with champions league than 100cups with no champions league.
He has been in futbal scenes quite too long , to fail such a minor test , we all know that , including my friends from nextdoor. So don't make a meal out-of nothing.
Irvin is looking forward to achieve another milestone in terms of futbal achievements. Atleast PTA teams are also ambitious to have something this year , while others are comfortable in wildeness.
....... Remember FOUR ... is the name of the game.
