Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Thembinkosi Lorch has not restricted his moves only to the field of play.

The soccer star is celebrating a massive milestone in another area of his life after acquiring a large truck.

Although it is unclear what plans he had for the pricey asset — there's every chance it will propel the 30-year-old further in his other dealings.

The @MDNnewss X page shared pictures and a 15-second video of Lorch checking out his new truck at Daewoo Trucks.

The caption read:

"Thembinkosi Lorch bought himself a truck. Congratulations."

It wasn't immediately clear which model the truck was or its price tag.

However, a closer look at the snaps, it looks like the Maximus KL3TX -Eaton 6x4 Truck Tractor.

The truck described retails for R 1,095,000 on the used vehicle market.

Lorch, who trended in May after he captured himself partying with two women on an Instagram live video, revved the stationery vehicle, likely to ensure ultra-satisfaction, as any customer would.

Due to an injury suffered before the end of last season, the player, who moved from Orlando Pirates to join The Brazilians, opted not to hop into the vehicle.
