Orlando Pirates have been advised to approach Nkosinathi Sibisi's contract situation carefully, despite confidence from a former player that the defender will eventually receive an extension.

Sibisi has established himself as an important member of the Pirates squad, bringing experience and leadership to the team's defensive department. His contribution has made his future at the club a subject of interest, particularly as discussions surrounding his contract continue to attract attention.

A former Pirates player believes the club will extend the defender's stay, suggesting that his experience and importance to the team make him a valuable figure. However, he has also explained why the Buccaneers should not rush into offering a new contract too early in the season.

The argument is that the club has sufficient time to assess the situation before making a final decision. Rather than acting under pressure, Pirates can monitor Sibisi's performances, fitness and overall contribution as the campaign progresses.

For a club competing on several fronts, managing contracts requires careful planning. Pirates must consider both their immediate needs and their long-term squad structure when deciding which players should receive new deals.

Sibisi's experience could remain valuable, particularly in a defensive unit where communication, organisation and leadership are essential. Nevertheless, the club will also need to consider its future recruitment plans and the development of younger defenders.

The former player's confidence that an agreement will eventually be reached suggests that he expects Sibisi to remain part of the club's plans.

However, no official confirmation of a contract extension has been provided in the information available.
