Orlando Pirates wonderkid Relebohile Mofokeng turned a year older, and fans and fellow stars were quick to flood social media with warm birthday wishes.
Thanks to his command of flair, he has been dubbed the next big star and has since attracted attention from European clubs.
ORLANDO PIRATES STAR RELEBOHILE MOFOKENG’S AGE REVEALED
Since joining the senior squad from the academy, Relebohile Mofokeng has quickly become one of the most followed Orlando Pirates players.
Despite being one of the most followed stars, he has managed to keep his private life under wraps, leaving many to guess even about his age, which often thrusts him into top trends.
Thanks to his huge following, Relebohile Mofokeng is trending after his age was revealed against the backdrop of his birthday.
On social media, Orlando Pirates penned a heartfelt birthday note to their poster boy. The club posted, “Wishing our #38 Relebohile Mofokeng a very Happy Birthday!”
On the other hand, Goal South Africa posted, “20 unlocked! Happy Birthday, Rele!”
No doubt Relebohile Mofokeng’s age has since set social media abuzz. 20-year-old Relebohile Mofokeng was born on 23 October 2004 in Sharpeville, South Africa.
Some fans were more than convinced that he is now old enough to conquer Europe.
CAREER
The 20-year-old star started his youth career with Transnet School of Excellence. A few months ago, he topped trends after his photos of him wearing a Mamelodi Sundowns jersey went viral.
However, The South African earlier this year established that Relebohile Mofokeng played for a team that wore a Mamelodi Sundowns jersey.
He once played for Amandl/Vaal Juventus FC—before joining Orlando Pirates. In 2022, he joined Orlando Pirates Youth Academy, and a year later, he was promoted to the senior team.
Since then, he has won big and become the club’s poster boy. In 2023, he hogged headlines after having trials with English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves).
Several European clubs are said to be closely monitoring him.
