Ralani to lead Orbit squad overhaul?

Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Bradley Ralani could reportedly be amongst several experienced players set to leave Orbit College following the club's relegation from the Betway Premiership.

Orbit's stay in the South African top flight lasted just one season after they finished bottom of the table in the 2025/26 campaign, which saw them relegated to the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

The Mswenko Boys are now expected to undergo significant changes ahead of next season, with uncertainty surrounding the futures of a number of senior players, including veteran midfielder Ralani.

The 38-year-old attacker, together with experienced players such as Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Brian Onyango, Ben Motshwari and Lesedi Kapinga, joined Orbit midway through the season as the club looked to strengthen the squad in a bid to avoid relegation.

Moreover, the arrivals were aimed at adding leadership, quality and top-flight experience during Orbit's debut Betway Premiership campaign under coach Pogiso Makhoye, who promoted the team last season.

However, the plan did not deliver the desired outcome and, with the club preparing for life in the second tier, several of the experienced stars could now seek opportunities elsewhere, according to sources.
