Vincent Pule – $220k

Pule started his football journey in the dusty streets of QwaQwa, in a province called the Free State in South Africa, and then signed for his first semi-professional side – Africa Warriors. After only two seasons he became a free-kick specialist for Bidvest Wits – a university side.

Four years later, the star, nicknamed Shuffle for his free-kick style, joined the PSL giants Orlando Pirates in 2018. He had hoped to play a key role in adding silverware to the Club’s cabinet before an overseas move. Instead, he joined the elite 100 club – players who have made 100 appearances in the PSL.
