Gladwin Shitolo returns to Orlando Pirates after Golden Arrows release

Golden Arrows have confirmed that midfielder Gladwin Shitolo is set to return to Orlando Pirates following his and three other players' release from the club.

Shitolo joined Arrows on loan at the start of the 2019/20 season after he was deemed surplus to requirements by Pirates technical team, which was then headed by coach Milutin Sredojevic.

The 31-year-old had a sizeable contribution to Abafana Bes'thende's recent campaign as he managed 28 appearances and one goal in all competitions under coach Steve Komphela.

The Giyani-born former Jomo Cosmos man has not featured in a Pirates shirt since 15 August 2018, when The Buccaneers lost 1-0 to the now defunct Bidvest Wits.

Meanwhile, as earlier confirmed by snl24.com/kickoff, the Durban-based outfit have let go of former Bloemfontein Celtic striker Lerato Lamola, as well as 26-year-old strikers Sibusiso Sibeko and Nkosingiphile Phewa.
