Chicago Fire have confirmed the signing of Orlando Pirates defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi.
The 20 year old penned down a 4 year deal with an option to renew. Mbokazi joins the club as an under-22 initiative.
Credible Source reported last week as the rumors linking the youngster with the club grew stronger.
His parent club, Orlando Pirates has also confirmed the departure of the player saying his growth has been nothing but meteoric.
“In his debut year as a professional (5 March 2025), he has already lifted his first piece of silverware with the Mighty Buccaneers and, on the international front, earned a call-up to the senior national team. Such has been his impact that he is widely expected to be part of the squad heading to the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco,” said Pirates in a statement.
Mbokazi is expected to remain with Orlando Pirates until the final official fixture of 2025 as agreed by management of both clubs.
