Orlando Pirates look set to extend the contract of one of their key
players, goalkeeper Richard Ofori. Sources have revealed that the
Buccaneers are understood to be ready to offer the shot-stopper a two-year
deal.
As previously reported by Soccer Laduma, Ofori’s contract is set to expire
on 30 June, with the club keen to open talks with the player for a new
deal. A source close to the club told the Siya crew that “other teams
could have already poached him” but the club wanted to keep him for
longer.
The 29-year-old joined Orlando Pirates in 2020 from Maritzburg United, and
is still viewed as an important part of the team. Ofori has been out of
action due to injury, which also prevented his participation at the FIFA
World Cup. Talks regarding the player’s future are expected to be
finalized in the coming weeks.
