The 25-year-old made his mark at Magesi where he finished his loan spell with one goal and four assists but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to save Dikwena tsa Meetse from relegation.
Speaking with the media, Ouaddou mentioned what he has seen of Luthuli since his return to the club this term
“What I see in training, what I have seen in him is full of the qualities of a modern striker. He’s tall. He’s able to play as a wall player and play to have the ball deep,” Ouaddou told the media.
“He can play in a combination. Can score with his left foot and right foot. Can score with his head. I think you are not you were not surprised last year in January when I said I don’t need a striker because I already have the material in the pilot, so this season he came back, and I think the technical staff trust him.
“Now I just hope that the injuries will stop because he has all the time some small injuries, and we have to work on that to strengthen him, to strengthen the legs, to strengthen the upper body.
“But he definitely he has he has good qualities to help Pirates, and I hope to see him soon. But he’s a really good profile.”
