The 27-year-old parted ways with the Saudi Pro League side after making nine appearances for the club in the Saudi top-flight and featured in the Asian Champions League but could not help them progress from the Group stage.

Pirates and Chiefs are scrambling for the signature of the defender who is capped by Ghana and has enormous experience playing in the South African top-flight after seasons spell with Maritzburg United.
