The 28-year-old will assist the new captain, Innocent Maela, following the departure of the previous skipper, Happy Jele.

Ofori joined Orlando Pirates from Maritzburg United in October 2020 and has been a key figure for the club, appearing in 42 matches across all competitions, conceding 28 goals, and keeping 21 clean sheets.
