Zambia international striker Ghampani Lungu is thrilled to earn a big move to South African Premiership Champions Orlando Pirates.
Lungu, 27, has joined Pirates from another South African side Siwelele.
Both Pirates and Lungu confirmed the transfer on Tuesday without giving further details.
“Recently crowned Betway Premiership Champions Orlando Pirates are delighted to announce new arrivals to the Club,” Pirates announced on their official website.
“After weeks of speculation and countless headlines across the football social media landscape, Orlando Pirates Football Club can confirm the signings of Mthetheleli Mthiyane (Stellenbosch FC), Sbangani Zulu (Richards Bay), as well as Bohale Ngwato and Ghampani Lungu (both from Siwelele),” the club said.
Lungu last month netted a hat-trick against Mamelodi Sundowns in a record-breaking 11-goal thriller.
“Further details regarding these new signings will be shared in due course.”
Lungu trekked to South Africa in 2018 when switching from Power Dynamos to SuperSport United.
Confirming the move Lungu said:” I’m happy to confirm that I’ll be starting a new journey at the start of the new season. Thank you for the support and love you’ve shown me over the years.”
Lungu has joined a list of Zambians that have played for Pirates among them late striker Dennis Lota, midfielder Isaac Chansa, striker Collins Mbesuma, midfielder Perry Mutapa, striker Augustine Mulenga, winger Austin Muwowo, forward Mwape Musonda and striker Justin Shonga (deceased).
The right winger has 15 caps earned from 2018.
