Former Orlando Pirates skipper Edward Motale has said Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori should be named the new captain of the international club.
According to the Daily Sun, Edward Motale believes Richard Ofori has garnered enough experience and would be able to lead Orlando Pirates.
“If I have to be honest, I am not a big fan of goalkeeper captains. But now Ofori can lead Pirates. He has the experience and he’s an international player. I have seen him communicating with players and also shouting (on the pitch),” he said.
“A captain needs to be someone vocal is the right man for me,” he continued as quoted by the Daily Sun.
Ahead of the start of the 2022/23 football season of the South African top-flight league, several players have been chosen for the captaincy role of the club.
Besides Richard Ofori, Thabang Monare, Thembinkosi Lorch, Olisa Ndah, and Ben Motshwari are being considered for the captaincy at Orlando Pirates.
One will be chosen to replace Happy Jele who has left the club.
