Orlando Pirates’ New Signing Gains Ouaddou’s Trust

A newly signed Orlando Pirates player is finally starting to win over coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. The Buccaneers brought in a wave of new talent during the off-season. While some signings made an immediate impact, others have taken more time to adjust.

One such player is left-back Nkosikhona Ndaba, who joined the club from Richards Bay. His move to the mighty Buccaneers at the start of the season came as a surprise to many. The 23-year-old defender has, however, found it challenging to cement his place in the squad so far.

Ouaddou Impressed by Rising Star’s Attitude

To date, Ndaba has made just one league appearance for Orlando Pirates, along with two outings in the CAF Champions League. Despite limited playing time, there is now positive news for the defender. According to sources, Abdeslam Ouaddou has been impressed by the player’s development and mindset.

An insider revealed that Ndaba’s strong work ethic and desire to learn have caught the coach’s attention. “He is a good player and will get his chance, and when it comes, he should grab it. Going to Orlando Pirates, he knew it wasn’t going to be easy. The good thing about him is that he’s disciplined, coachable, and has the right attitude. Talent is there in abundance, and he’s got age on his side,” the source told Soccer Laduma. This positive impression from Abdeslam Ouaddou signals a potential turning point in the player’s stint with the club.

As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.

A Promising Future for the Defender

Before his high-profile transfer, Nkosikhona Ndaba built a solid foundation in the PSL. He made 41 senior appearances for Richards Bay, registering four assists for the Natal Rich Boys. His performances there marked him as a player with a bright future in South African football.

If the latest reports are accurate, he could soon become a more prominent figure in Mayfair. Being noticed by Abdeslam Ouaddou is a significant step for any player at Orlando Pirates. For Ndaba, this recognition could be the key to unlocking more opportunities on the field and fulfilling the potential that prompted Orlando Pirates to sign him.
