Orlando Pirates have officially secured the return of promising winger Mohau Nkota on a season-long loan deal from Saudi outfit Al-Ettifaq.
The young attacker announced himself during a breakout 2024/25 campaign with the Buccaneers, contributing seven goals and five assists in 39 appearances.
His impressive performances earned him a a R22.28 million (€1.2 million) transfer to Saudi Arabia in July 2025, though persistent injury setbacks limited his impact to just two goals across 21 league outings.

Confirming his return to South Africa, the Soweto giants expressed their enthusiasm for the move in an official press release:
“We are delighted to welcome Mohau back to the club; his familiar flair, energy, and quality will be invaluable as we contend on multiple fronts this season.”
Rejoining the squad under manager Abdeslam Ouaddou, Nkota will look to rediscover his finest form in the Betway Premiership.
Celebrated by supporters for his direct dribbling and big-game temperament, his return significantly bolsters Pirates’ squad depth as they pursue domestic silverware and success in the CAF Champions League.
