Orlando Pirates complete signing of Norwegian striker Sebastian Pedersen

Orlando Pirates have strengthened their attacking options with the signing of Norwegian forward Sebastian Pedersen, who joins the Buccaneers from Sogndal ahead of the new campaign.

The 27-year-old striker has completed his move to the Soweto giants after agreeing to a two-year contract, with the club retaining an option to extend the deal beyond the initial period.

Pedersen arrives at Orlando Pirates with a proven goalscoring record and is expected to add more firepower to the Buccaneers’ frontline as they continue their pursuit of domestic and continental success.

The Norwegian forward has been in impressive form in recent seasons, scoring 51 goals in his last 117 appearances. His consistency in front of goal was a key factor behind Pirates’ decision to bring him to South Africa as they look to bolster their attacking depth.

Known for his finishing ability and physical presence in the final third, Pedersen becomes the latest attacking addition to the Sea Robbers’ squad.

The move also marks a new chapter in the striker’s career as he prepares to adapt to South African football and compete in the highly competitive Premier Soccer League.

Orlando Pirates will hope Pedersen’s goalscoring pedigree can translate into immediate impact as the club targets more silverware in the upcoming season.
