AmaZulu FC has strengthened its squad for the upcoming 2024–25 season with the acquisition of experienced Ghanaian goalkeeper Richard Ofori. The former Black Stars shot-stopper, who had been unattached since the end of the 2023–24 season following his release from Orlando Pirates, joins AmaZulu as a free agent.
Ofori, who boasts years of experience in the South African Premier League, previously showcased his goalkeeping prowess with Maritzburg United before his high-profile move to Orlando Pirates. His signing brings a wealth of expertise and leadership to AmaZulu’s squad, as they look to improve their standing in the league this season.
Ofori’s arrival adds to the club’s already competitive goalkeeping department. He will face tough competition from Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Veli Mothwa, along with Olwethu Mzimela and Andile Mbajwa. This depth ensures that AmaZulu has a solid group of keepers capable of delivering high performances throughout the campaign.
With Ofori’s experience and pedigree, AmaZulu fans can be optimistic about their team’s defensive strength as they gear up for the 2024–25 season. The Ghanaian international’s leadership and calmness under pressure could be the key to unlocking success for the Durban-based club.
