Richard Ofori, 30, has been released by Orlando Pirates after his current contract expired.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper, Ofori, Siyabonga Mpontshane, Thabang Monare, and Kermit Erasmus, are considered surplus to requirements by the end of the 2023–24 season.
The club released a statement saying: “As the football season draws to a close, we not only mark the end of our campaign but also bid farewell to some of our esteemed players. Orlando Pirates can confirm that Richard Ofori, Siyabonga Mpontshane, Thabang Monare, and Kermit Erasmus will be leaving us when their respective contracts come to an end on June 30. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that we reflect on the contributions of these players during their time with us.”
Richard Ofori joined the Mighty Buccaneers in 2020 after excelling in the PSL from Maritzburg United.
It was a calamitous season for the Ghanaian goalkeeper who made just three appearances in all competitions for Orlando Pirates.
The former WA All-Stars goalkeeper played a total of 58 games for the club, conceding 36 goals and keeping 30 clean sheets winning the South African MTN8 Cup three times.
