Yusuf Maart, currently a central midfielder for Kaizer Chiefs, once had a stint with their arch-rivals, Orlando Pirates.

While it may seem like a distant memory, Maart actually represented the Orlando Pirates first team in the past.

He was part of the Buccaneers’ youth setup and made two appearances for them between 2017 and 2020.

However, only one of those appearances was in the DStv Premiership.

Since then, much has changed for Maart and his career trajectory.

The Contrasting Fortunes of Chiefs and Pirates

Despite Kaizer Chiefs achieving a league double over Orlando Pirates in the previous season, it was the Buccaneers who had the last laugh.

They finished second in the league standings, securing their qualification for the upcoming CAF Champions League.
