Richard Ofori flies to complete medicals at Orlando Pirates
Ghanaian goalkeeper Richard Ofori is expected to arrive in Johannesburg today to complete his medical with Orlando Pirates.
Maritzburg United accepted an offer from Pirates earlier this week for Ofori, who is expected to join on a three-year contract after reaching an agreement on personal terms.
The Mighty Buccaneers have already parted ways with goalkeeper Joris Delle to pave the way for the new goalkeeper’s arrival from KwaZulu-Natal.
According to a source close to Pirates, the club has also extended its net wide in search of an international striker after failing to sign Bradley Grobler from SuperSport United.
“Ofori is leaving Pietermaritzburg today for Johannesburg. He is expected to sign a three-year contract with Pirates,” the source tells KickOff.com.
“The club is also searching for a top international striker after SuperSport United decided to keep Grobler.”
Justin Shonga has left the club to join Tshakhuma FC and will link up with former Pirates teammate Augustine Mulenga in Limpopo for the 2020/21 season.
On flip side of Pirates incomings, they have confirmed the exits of Justin Shonga and Joris Delle, while new contract offers for Ntsikelelo Nyauza and Luvuyo Memela have been tabled.
“After spending a year in South Africa, Delle has submitted a request in writing citing his inability to adjust to his new surroundings and wants to return to Europe,” Pirates confirmed on their official website.
“The club can also confirm that striker Justin Shonga has also left the club and will be joining TTM. We would like to wish both Justin and Joris the best of luck in their future endeavours.”
