Pirates star Mofokeng reveals biggest disadvantage

The 20-year-old attacker had an amazing 2024 season and was a fan favourite of the Pirates fans because of his trickery and skill.

Mofokeng was named Man of the Match in Pirates’ final game of the season against Magesi FC at the Orlando Stadium.

Speaking after the game, “Coco melon” revealed the areas he need to improve in the coming season.

‘I just need to continue to improve’

“I think I did well this season. So I just need to continue to improve and work hard. So I just need to continue,” said Mofokeng.

“I think a place where I can improve is to score because that’s the only thing missing in my game. I can create and assist. But it’s only my lack of scoring, but I think I can improve with a lot of practice.”

Mofokeng also indicated that fatigue might have played a role in his dip in form towards the end of the season.

“It has been a long season because we have been involved in competitions like the CAF [Champions League] and the Nedbank Cup. We are not used to playing so many games. So I think we did well. We just need to make sure that next season we do better than this season,” commented Mofokeng.

Mofokeng made 49 appearances in all competitions for the Buccaneers this past season, scoring 12 goals and making 15 assists.

The 20-year-old is set to compete with Lucas Ribeiro of Mamelodi Sundowns for the PSL Footballer the Season and the Players’ Player of the Season awards.
