Soon after performing in the Carling All Stars team against Stellenbosch FC last weekend, the 28-year-old Pirates midfielder went online to celebrate his daughter’s 5th birthday.

 

“5 years feels like years and it’s true when they say time flies. Happy Birthday daddy’s Princess 👸 God bless you with many more,” the Pirates star said.

Staying with Pirates, Lorch’s former teammate and captain, Happy Jele, is determined to keep playing football beyond his current age of 37.

After looking very unfamiliar in a Royal AM jersey last season, the Middelburg-born defender left the KZN club in the early past of this season.

So what’s next?

“At this point and time, I’m still training on my own,” Jele told FARPost.

“If any team is willing to acquire my services, I’m still available. But about retiring, I will let you know when the time is right,” the former Pirates captain added.
