Josephs’ signing was confirmed by Bucs’ official Floyd Mbele, who said the former Ajax Cape Town and Clever Boys minder had signed for three years with the Soweto giants.
snl24.com/kickoff earlier this week reported that the Students’ skipper was on the verge of joining Pirates’ ship and all that remained was for him to agree on personal terms.
SuperSport United initially made Wits an offer of around R2 million for Josephs, which was turned down.
This happened about a month ago and has been kept quiet until now, but Pirates are believed to have raised the bar to roughly R2.5 million.
Further transfer news from the Buccaneers is that they are also on the verge of signing midfielders Lebohang Mothibantwa and Thembile Kanono from Bloemfontein Celtic and Santos, respectively.
