“Orlando Pirates Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of striker Sebastian Pedersen from Norwegian side Sogndal Fotball,” the club said in a statement. “He becomes the newest addition to Abdeslam Ouaddou’s squad as the Buccaneers prepare for a competitive season ahead.
“Pedersen arrives from one of Norwegian football’s great talent factories. The blond bomber is cut from that cloth, having featured at junior national team level from U15 all the way to U21.
“In terms of his style of play, Pedersen is considered a one-touch finisher rather than a bulldozer.”
Pirates open their Betway Premiership title defence against promoted Milford FC on Saturday.
