I want to extend my gratitude to everyone at Orlando Pirates—the staff, technical team, medical personnel, board members, management, and my fellow players.
I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive atmosphere.”
Cherishing Memories and Connections
Reflecting on his time with the club, Ofori said, “It’s been an incredible four years filled with ups and downs, but every match felt like it meant the world to us.
Seeing everyone fight week in and week out has been a source of strength for me, and I will carry that spirit with me always.”

You’ve stood by me through thick and thin, and I can’t thank you enough.”

You allowed me to flourish both as a player and a person, and you gave me a true sense of home.”
Concluding his message, he expressed, “I leave with nothing but wonderful memories from my time here.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. God bless you all.”
