Bucs management are set to offer key man Ofori a new contract.

“I think a lot of people know that Ofori’s contract is ending next year, so, obviously there has to be talks between the player and the management. It has to happen soon because if you take time in such situations you might end up losing the player. He is the number one choice at the club and the management obviously want to keep him,” said the club insider.

Therefore, Ofori is expected to stay with the Bucs for many years to come.

The 29 year old’s experience is key to this side. Especially, since they lost both Bucs legends – Happy Jele and Thulani Hlatshwayo last season.

Meaning, he is the wise head at the back and is key to mentoring the likes of Tapelo Xoki and Nkosinathi Sibisi at the back.
