Orlando Pirates are in talks with Stellenbosch FC over the signing of young goalkeeper Dublin Boon, iDiski Times can confirm.
Boon, 21, joined the Cape Winelands-side from Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand in August last year, and was mainly used as back-up keeper for the club’s DStv Diski Challenge side.
He was understood to be included in a major swap deal which would’ve seen Boon and Faiz Abrahams join the Buccaneers and Kabelo Dlamini move the other direction – however, the deal collapsed due to Dlamini opting against the switch.
While Abrahams has now been linked with a loan move to Durban City, this publication can confirm that Pirates are still keen on signing Boon, with personal terms already being agreed and both club trying to find an agreement on the transfer now.
“It’s still ongoing discussions. We hope to finalise soon,” his agent, Rasthoem Simons of 5sSports told iDiski Times.
Pirates recently lost Melusi Buthelezi, who joined Sekhukhune United, but still have Siyabonga Dladla (25) and Ethan Visagie (21) as part of their squad.
