Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou says Relebohile Mofokeng is a great example for the Buccaneers brand after he scored on his UEFA Europa League debut for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
Mofokeng had a brilliant Europa League debut, netting the opener in his side’s 3-0 win at Viktoria Plzen.
It was already his fourth goal in just eight appearances for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, with his former coach expressing his happiness at a player who is carrying the Pirates flag high.
“Orlando Pirates is building stories since many, many years now, since decades and credit has to be given to the club,” he said on SuperSport TV.
“But coming back to Rele Mofokeng, I have a big heart with my players.
“He’s the example we have to follow. If we are ambitious, this boy was very ambitious. All that he was doing in our team it was all the time forward.
“So I’m happy for him, I hope he’s going to continue. It’s very good for the club as well, a very good image of the brand Orlando Pirates in Europe.”
