Former Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele looks set to join fellow DStv Premiership outfit Royal AM after parting ways with the Buccaneers on Monday.
The Buccaneers announced that the club has parted ways with Jele after his contract with the club came to an end.
According to reports reaching Kickoff.com, Royal AM boss Shaun Mkhize is keen on signing the veteran defender, who left Pirates after spending 16 years with the Soweto giants.
Jele is expected to join the club as a free agent and will become one of their marquee signings behind Ricardo Nascimento, Thabo Matlaba and Samir Nurkovic, respectively.
“Royal AM have handed Happy Jele their offer,” the source revealed to KickOff.
“They are expected to meet on Tuesday to finalise a deal. If things go well, the club is expected to unveil him imminently.”
Over the course of his career, Jele made over 400 appearances across all competitions while scoring 18 goals and assisting a further seven in the process.
Jele leaves the Buccaneers, having won eight trophies, including two league titles, three MTN8 trophies, two Nedbank Cups as well as one Telkom Knockout Cup trophy.
