According to well-placed Siya sources, Ofori was already expected to be closing in on a move to AmaZulu, but not before penning the heartfelt letter to Pirates, where he had spent four years and made 58 appearances, racking up 29 clean sheets since 2020.
"The past couple of years have been years of grace and power. I couldn't have been happier, more robust, focused and motivated than in a place I've called home. Being part of the Orlando Pirates brought new challenges, joy, huddles, and energy. The time has now come for me to open a new chapter in my career. I want to thank the entire Orlando Pirates family. The staff, technical team, medical staff, board members, management, and players. I couldn't have asked for a better working environment than this. It's been a fantastic, action-packed four years of my journey. We won and lost games, but every game felt like our lives depended on it. It gave me so much energy and character to see a group of individuals fighting week in and week out to their last breath. I have picked a leaf and will carry it everywhere I go. To the fans, supporters, family and friends! You all hold a special place in my heart; I never take it for granted. You were always there for me, both good and bad. I honestly can't thank you enough. You were all my pillars of strength. To my Chairman! Words fail me. You allowed me to spread my wings and grow as a player and individual. But most importantly, you gave me a HOME. I have nothing but good memories with the club. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Everyone who has come along for the ride. God Bless you all.@orlandopirates," he wrote on his official Instagram page.
Ofori was officially unveiled as an AmaZulu player with the following social media post by the Durban club. He should add much-needed steel and competition for coach Pablo Franco's side.
