This season’s Absa Premiership sees no less than five Ghanaian-born players currently pursuing their football careers in Africa’s southernmost nation.
In case you maybe be unsure, the names from Ghana playing in South Africa this season are Richard Ofori, Mohammed Anas, Edwin Gyimah, Richard Boateng and Samuel Darpoh… so how are they doing?
If there’s one Ghanaian who is flying the nation’s flag the highest in Mzansi, it is without question Maritzburg United’s goalkeeper Richard Ofori.
Though Ofori’s side is uncomfortable in the relegation zone, the charismatic stopper has done a lot to catch the attention of possible suitors, the latest being the mighty Orlando Pirates.
The full list of players & statistics:
Richard Ofori - Maritzburg United 21 appearances & 20 goals conceded
Mohammed Anas - Polokwane City striker Two goals from 11 appearances
Edwin Gyimah - Bidvest Wits midfielder Zero goals from three appearances
Richard Boateng - SuperSport United left-back Zero goals from three appearances
Samuel Darpoh - AmaZulu midfielder Zero goals from eight appearances
Only Boateng may be in action tonight with SuperSport United taking on Orlando Pirates.
