Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Karim Kimvuidi has officially found a new club. This move comes just one week after his departure from the South African team.
The Congolese player was part of a group released by the Soweto giants. Head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou is currently reshaping the squad for the upcoming season.
A Return to Familiar Territory
