Moralo was one of the star performers for the team in the UK, where they played against the under-21 sides of Bristol City and Queens Park Rangers (QPR) last week.Moralo now looks set to go out on loan this season, with his likely destination being Marumo Gallants.
"I think when I go home I am going to go on loan to Marumo Gallants, but not everything has been confirmed, but they told me I have to go out on loan and try to get some game time. I am looking forward to it so that I can get some playing minutes and improve my career.
"Coach Gavin (Hunt) explained to me that I need to go out on loan to get some playing minutes and work on some attributes of my game that I can improve, like passing.
"For me, it's all about the experience. He explained to me that I might not play more if I stay at SuperSport, but obviously it's not going to be easy. I need to go there at Marumo Gallants and work hard and impress the coach, so that I can get more playing. Then hopefully I can be recalled to SuperSport United."
While in the UK, SuperSport were beaten 6-2 by Bristol and played out to a 4-4 draw with QPR, who scored in the final second of the game to end the thriller in style.
"It's been a great trip. I am grateful to God for giving us the opportunity to be in the UK and experience what life is like there. It was an eye-opener. There are a lot of differences compared to home, like the football, culture, modes of transport and everything. It was exciting," Moralo said.
"What I learnt the most is that the guys are very physical. They stick to their structure, from the first to the last minute. I think that's what I am going to take going home. That's what we need to preach. When you have a structure, everything becomes easy."
Moralo's highlight on the tour was watching Arsenal and Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, even though the club he supports ended up on the losing side after the penalty shootout.
"I am a Man City supporter, so it was a dream come true to watch the football team I support in Europe. Those teams had a brilliant season (in 2022/23) and they had a brilliant game on Sunday. That was my highlight. It was a different experience. The stadium was packed and the atmosphere was surreal."
