Jose Riveiro shares a special birthday message for Relebohile Mofokeng
Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro shared a special message for Relebohile Mofokeng’s 20th birthday.
Relebohile Mofokeng (Ratomo; born 23 October 2004) is a South African professional footballer who plays as a midfielder and winger for Orlando Pirates and the South Africa national team.
Mofokeng progressed through the Transnet School of Excellence before a transfer arrangement between South African Premier Soccer League sides Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates was met, with Mofokeng joining Orlando Pirates and teammate Siyabonga Mabena joining Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mofokeng integrated well into the academy of Orlando Pirates, impressing with the reserve team in the DStv Diski Challenge, and being invited to train with the first team.
Having featured on the bench four times, he was given his first start for the club in a DStv Premiership game against Royal AM on 3 May 2023. Following a mistake by Royal AM’s Mozambiquan player Domingues, Mofokeng’s shot deflected off Domingues into the back of the net.
However, the goal was given as an own goal, as the initial shot was not on target. In only his second game for the club, he notched a goal and an assist in a 4–0 win against AmaZulu.
