Former Orlando Pirates player Edward Motale has thrown his weight behind Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori for the club's captaincy.
The Soweto-based club is currently without a captain following the departure of Happy Jele.
Orlando Pirates boss Jose Riveiro will have to appoint a new skipper going into the new season.
Several names including Thabang Monare, Thembinkosi Lorch, Olisa Ndah, and Ben Motshwari have all popped up as candidates for the position.
In an interview Daily Sun, the former Orlando Pirates captain indicated the Ghanaian shot stopper has the qualities to lead the club.
"If I have to be honest, I am not a big fan of goalkeeper captains. But now Ofori can lead Pirates. He has the experience and he's an international player. I have seen him communicating with players and also shouting (on the pitch). A captain needs to be someone vocal is the right man for me," he said as quoted by the Daily Sun.
Richard Ofori starred as Pirates reached the finals of the CAF Confederation Cup last season.
