With increased competition for places expected, the Soweto giants are assessing their options, and Boon has emerged as one of the names under consideration.
The Stellenbosch FC goalkeeper has steadily built a reputation as one of the country’s promising young keepers.

Talks underway with Stellenbosch FC
According to iDiski Times, discussions between Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC are underway as the clubs explore the possibility of a transfer.
While negotiations are believed to be in their early stages, no agreement has been reached yet.
The outcome of the talks could depend on several factors, including the transfer fee, contractual terms and the willingness of both clubs to finalise a deal before the transfer window closes.
Should the transfer materialise, Boon would face stiff competition for a place in Pirates’ starting line-up.
The club already boasts experienced goalkeepers, meaning the young shot-stopper would need to impress in training and seize any opportunities that come his way.
Healthy competition could strengthen Pirates’ goalkeeping department as they prepare for a demanding campaign across multiple competitions.
