Innocent Maela prepared to become captain of the Orlando Pirates.

Innocent Maela has made it known that he is prepared to become the captaincy of the Orlando Pirates.

Soon after Happy Jele and Thulani Hlatshwayo left Soweto, the Buccaneers are expected to name a new captain.

These are the potential Pirates captain candidates. Maela is prepared, competent, and driven to be the Bucs’ captain.

Maela will seize the chance thoroughly if he is chosen as the new Buccaneers captain.

“When you play for a club like Pirates, everyone is responsible. If they give me the armband, it will be an honour, but it won’t be any pressure because we are a team,” Maela stated on SowetanLive.

“I know that my teammates will be there to support me and if they give the armband to someone else, I know that I will be there to support that person. But it does not really matter who got the armband as long as everyone is responsible and everyone is accountable and knows what they need to deliver on the field of play, then we will be sorted,” .

New players, coaches, and now a new captain are ushering in a new era for the Pirates.
