Orlando Pirates haven’t been able to call on Relebohile Mofokeng’s services as often as they’d like this season. However, he’s back.
The 21-year-old star winger is back in the Pirates squad to face Golden Arrows.
Versatile youngster Simphiwe Selepe is also back in the fold.
Mofokeng returns for Orlando Pirates
It’s been an indifferent season so far by Rele Mofokeng’s standards. The exciting number 10/winger has only made six league appearances and failed to either score or assist so far. He’s back in contention after missing recent matchday squads, as is utility 20-year-old star Simphiwe Selepe. Mofokeng’s overall record for Pirates is stellar, directly contributing to 41 goals in 101 games for the Sea Robbers.
“There could be a reshuffling of the pack in a match that kicks off a busy week, with the likes of Relebohile Mofokeng and Simphiwe Selepe nearing a return after missing out on a fair bit of the action this season,” an official Orlando Pirates statement read.
