Relebohile Mofokeng is being proposed by Thembinkosi Lorch’s supporters as Thembinkosi Lorch’s replacement at Orlando Pirates.

The announcement that Thembinkosi Lorch had signed with Mamelodi Sundowns after leaving the Orlando Pirates had created a stir in the sports world.

“Lorch had two options: to sign for Sundowns or maybe go to the Middle East with Pitso Mosimane – even previously, he was keen to join Mosimane at one of his previous clubs,” a Bucs insider stated.

“He has always shown a huge interest in going to play abroad. He was not willing to renew, and things were now difficult for him at Pirates,”

Another source revealed that “Everything happened so fast. The two clubs agreed on a fee, and Lorch was told that a deal was done with Sundowns.”

“He had been unhappy for some time [at Pirates] , and you could see with his body language, even on the field. His eyes were now on Sundowns. And more than anything, it was just a business decision – he got a massive offer, and he took it.” They said he also had to think of his family, who he cares for.

Supporters have proposed a fresh stand-in for the Orlando Pirates star. They think Relebohile Mofokeng is capable of replacing him. Despite his youth, they believe he has what it takes to establish himself at the club.
