Ghana's Richard Ofori is up for South Africa Premiership Goalkeeper of the Season following his exploits at Maritzburg United.
The 26-year-old has kept an impressive 10 clean sheets in 24 matches and is only one behind SuperSport United’s Ronwen Williams who tops the table with 11 games without conceding a goal.
Ofori has been one of the standout players for his side, conceding just 17 goals with only Mamelodi Sundowns having given away fewer goals with 15 strikes against them.
"As a goalkeeper you need to always aim for clean sheets because then possibility of your team winning a game is like 70 percent," he said on his impressive performance this season.
"I always say this league is one of the best for goalkeepers. You’ll see goalkeepers who are either second choice or first choice for his country. That lets everyone in the world know that this league has quality.
"I don’t think about goalkeeper of the season, I just think about the team, doing well in the league.
"Because at the end of the day we are playing for this crest, which is Maritzburg United.
"And before individual awards, the most important thing is that the team is doing well. Anything else will come later. I don’t think about best goalkeeper, I just do my best."
The former Wa All Stars shot-stopper has been linked with a summer move to several clubs including Belgian Pro Jupiler League side Gent.
