Orlando Pirates co-caretaker coach Mandla Ncikazi has highlighted the importance of Thembinkosi Lorch’s return to the team.
Lorch has been absent since the beginning of the season when he picked up a shoulder injury in a “freak accident”.
On Wednesday, though, the winger made his long-awaited comeback, coming off the bench in the 79th minute for Kabelo Dlamini.
“(I am) highly excited. You just see the quality, I think the first pass an assist to Hotto on top and I think a final miss in the end,” he said when asked by iDiski Times about Lorch.
“But the important thing was him getting back, Lorch is quality and I’m confident (that) if he plays like this in his first game after a long time of being injured it’s all positive.
“I just wish he grows from here and assists the team in what it’s been missing the most, which is to score goals.
“Maybe we need a Lorch to finish the product and terminate the attacks.”
