Player of the Season from Orlando Pirates presented to you by an ex-Chiefs man!

Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana attacker Relebohile Mofokeng should be considered for the 2025/26 Player of the Season Award, according to former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye.

In the last two games, Mofokeng has scored five goals with the Sea Robbers beating TS Galaxy 6-0 and Golden Arrows 5-0 respectively in the last two Premier Soccer League outings.

The 21-year-old has now scored nine goals in 20 PSL fixtures and provided five assists in the process.

It was a massive result that has seen Abdeslam Ouaddou’s men hit 54 points, two less than leaders Mamelodi Sundowns. Masandawana are chasing their ninth league title in as many campaigns.

Why Orlando Pirates’ Mofokeng deserves POTY Award

“Player of the Season is Relebohile Mofokeng. Players’ Player of the Season [is] Appollis and Midfielder of the Season is between Thalente Mbatha, Teboho Mokoena and Marcelo Allende that’s for me this year,” he said as quoted by iDiski Times.

“Honestly Relebohile Mofokeng is my Player of the Season I mean it’s been a while that a player has won man of the match award five times consecutively.

“This boy is something else, look at his age. And Appolis first season at Orlando Pirates from Polokwane City, I didn’t expect he’d have such a start.

“The boy recently scored his first [professional] hat-trick and now two goals and a crucial time where they are competing with Sundowns and psychologically, he’s so strong. He deserved the Man of the Match today and the movement between him and Appollis is also on song,” Khanye concluded.
