ORLANDO PIRATES STAR MOFOKENG ON TRIAL WITH PREMIER LEAGUE SIDE WOLVES

18-year-old Relebohile Mofokeng made his first team debut at the back-end of 2022-23 and hasn’t looked back. The tricky talent has featured prominently again this season, with coach Jose Riveiro trusting him with three MTN8 appearances en route to defending the trophy.

Now, English Premier League side Wolves have taken note of Mofokeng’s trickery and ability to pick a final ball. According to SABC Sport, he is currently in England undergoing an assessment with the Birmingham-based side. It was earlier reported by the national broadcaster that he was with second-tier club Reading, but the news is even better than that and his range of options might have just increased.
