Lorch spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club.
He joined the Botola Pro League side in January 2025 under the leadership of then-coach Rulani Mokwena and quickly made an impact.
The former Orlando Pirates fan-favourite shone particularly during Wydad’s recent campaign at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, raising his profile and reinforcing his value on the continental stage.
