1. Orlando Pirates midfielder Thembinkosi Lorch has promised the supporters that his best is yet to come after his return from injury revived the club's fortunes upfront.

2. Lorch missed the bulk of the season after he got a knee injury early in the campaign in August last year.

3. The hard-running and silky attacker watched Pirates from the sidelines, as his injury required surgery and only returned in February this year.

4. Lorch has maintained his form, particularly in the Nedbank Cup as he scored in successive matches against lower league sides Venda Football Academy and Dondol Stars.

     Now, Lorch is determined to help the team reach new heights, and he believes that his best performances are still to come. “I am still getting back to my best and I know that I still have a lot to offer the team. I am ready to help the team reach their goals this season,” he said.
