With 19 appearances under his name at the end of Orlando Pirates' 2023/24 DStv Premiership campaign, Olisa Ndah must be pleased with his progress after a slow start to the season.
Earlier in the season, the defender struggled with regular game time, while he also had to endure a frustrating period due to injury.

Having managed to shake off the injury during the season and after regaining his full fitness, the Nigerian proved his worth in the team yet again and forced his inclusion in coach Jose Riveiro's matchday squads and starting line-ups as the Spanish mentor has been rotating his centre-backs.
With the Buccaneers preparing for Saturday's much anticipated Nedbank Cup final against Mamelodi Sundowns, Ndah is expected to play a crucial role in defence as the Soweto giants are aiming for the defence of the prestigious trophy.
While the 26-year-old has previously been linked with an exit from Bucs, with indications that there has been interest in his services from overseas, his agent Mike Makaab has confirmed to the Siya crew that there are no plans now for the player to leave.
"Oilsa will be staying with Pirates, he is happy. It is still his ambition to play in Europe and we will always be mindful of that," said Makaab.
