Relebohile Mofokeng, one of the most exciting young talents to emerge from South African football in recent years, is set to join Belgian Pro League side Union Saint-Gilloise on a four-year contract. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder and winger will leave Orlando Pirates after a season that saw him rack up 10 goals and 8 assists in 27 Betway Premiership appearances.
The move, which surfaced across sports media outlets on June 29, 2026, represents a significant step for a player who has gone from domestic prospect to internationally recognized talent in a remarkably short window.
From Sharpeville to Brussels
Born on October 23, 2004, in Sharpeville, South Africa, Mofokeng rose through the ranks at Orlando Pirates, one of the country’s most storied clubs. Wearing the number 38 shirt, he carved out a role as a dynamic left winger capable of operating as an attacking midfielder.
Mofokeng earned 13 caps for the South African national team and was selected for the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad. His estimated market value sits at approximately £2.6 million. No financial details of the transfer fee itself have been disclosed.
