Durban City chairman Farouk Kadodia spoke exclusively to Soccer Laduma, confirming that the Uruguayan midfielder had completed his move to the club ahead of the 2026/27 season.
"It's completed. The player has signed for us. Oh, he has signed for you now. It's the season with the option," Kadodia told the publication.
Sirino reunites with familiar coach
The signing also marks a reunion between Sirino and Durban City head coach Khalil Ben Youssef, who previously worked with the midfielder. The Siya crew first reported the deal before Kadodia's official confirmation.
Sirino became a free agent after his contract with Kaizer Chiefs expired at the end of the 2025/26 season. The 34-year-old spent two years at the Soweto giants, making 52 appearances and contributing to the club's Nedbank Cup triumph during the 2024/25 season under the managerial guidance of Nasreddine Nabi.
From Sundowns to Chiefs to Durban City
Before his move to Naturena, Sirino spent six years at Mamelodi Sundowns, during which he played 115 matches and scored 16 goals at their Chloorkop base. He joined Chiefs two seasons ago following his departure from the Tshwane-based club.
Sirino will now look to bring his experience to Durban City as the club prepares for the upcoming season and looks forward to the possibility of retaining the Nedbank Cup.
Bafana star leaves Sundowns for PSL rivals
Briefly News earlier reported that a Bafana Bafana star has decided to leave Mamelodi Sundowns for the second season running for Premier Soccer League rivals.
The South African international is one of the few players leaving the CAF Champions League champions this summer ahead of the 2026-27 season.
