Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori extends Orlando Pirates stay with a two-year contract

Published on: 14 July 2023

Ghana goalkeeper, Richard Ofori has extended his stay at Orlando Pirates with a new two-year contract deal.

Ofori signed a two-year deal with the second year being an optional year amid a flurry of signed deals by the Soweto giant.

Vincent Pule signed a three-year deal with the third year being optional while Thabang Monare, Siyabonga Mpontshane and Ben Motswari signed deals that end in 2024.

The former Wa All Stars goalkeeper endured a very frustrating 2022-2023 season as he featured in just 13 games in all competitions while battling a serious knee injury despite winning the MTN 8 title.

Pirates finished second in the league with 54 points; Mamelodi Sundowns won the title after amassing 70 points.

Aside from missing out on several games and virtually being on the way out, Ofori’s injury issues forced him to miss out on a call-up to Ghana’s 2022 FIFA World Cup squad.

Ofori will be hoping to return stronger in the upcoming South African PSL season.
