Oswin Appollis finds new club overseas his leaving

Orlando Pirates have reportedly reached an agreement with Egyptian giants Al Ahly over the transfer of Bafana Bafana international Oswin Appollis, bringing an end to speculation surrounding the future of the talented attacker.

Appollis joined Orlando Pirates from Polokwane City in 2025 and quickly established himself as an important member of the Buccaneers’ squad. His performances for the Soweto giants, together with his displays for the South African national team, attracted significant attention from clubs outside the country.

According to the reported development, Al Ahly have made an offer for Appollis and Orlando Pirates have accepted the proposal. The Egyptian giants are now understood to have secured the player’s services, with the transfer expected to mark the beginning of a new chapter in Appollis’ career.

The reported move would see Appollis leave South Africa for Egypt, where he would join one of Africa’s most successful clubs. His ability to operate in attacking positions, create opportunities and contribute with goals and assists has made him an attractive player on the international market.

Orlando Pirates are also expected to formally communicate the completion of the transfer and Appollis’ departure once all administrative and contractual procedures have been finalised. The announcement would bring an emotional conclusion to his time at the club after just over a year with the Buccaneers.

Appollis has already built a strong reputation in South African football, and a move to Al Ahly would provide him with an opportunity to compete at another level of African club football while continuing to develop his career outside the PSL.

For Pirates supporters, the departure of the 12-shirted attacker would represent a significant change to the squad. The club would potentially need to find a suitable replacement or adjust its attacking options following his exit.

Important: As of the latest reports I could verify, this transfer has not been officially confirmed. Recent reporting instead said Pirates were considering overseas interest in Appollis, while his agent dismissed reports of a move away as rumours.
