Orlando Pirates have strengthened their goalkeeping ranks with the signing of 21-year-old goalkeeper Dublin Boon from Stellenbosch FC.
Boon, who holds dual New Zealand and South African citizenship, joins the reigning South African champions after spending the previous season primarily with Stellenbosch’s Diski Challenge side while training with the club’s senior team.
The young shot-stopper joined Stellenbosch from Wellington Phoenix in 2025, but did not make a senior Betway Premiership appearance during his time in the Cape Winelands.
His move to Pirates represents another important step in his development and gives him the opportunity to work within the goalkeeping setup at one of South Africa’s biggest clubs.
Boon will now look to push for greater opportunities and continue his development as he competes for a place among the Buccaneers’ goalkeeping options.
For Pirates, the signing provides additional depth in an important position as the club prepares for another demanding season across domestic and continental competitions.
