Fielies: Blow for Orlando Pirates as reported target inks new Cape Town City deal

The tall centre-back is enjoying life in the Mother City having helped his side reach the MTN8 final

Cape Town City have confirmed the extension of Taariq Fielies’ contract amidst reported interest from Orlando Pirates.

The 29-year-old player has become one of the top centre-backs in the PSL since he joined the Citizens from Milano United in 2017 and he made his debut for Bafana Bafana in the following year.

Fielies was linked with the PSL big guns Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns during the last transfer window with Pirates believed to be more serious about the no-nonsense defender.
