FAST START IN EUROPE
The former Orlando Pirates star has adapted quickly to European football and has become an important creative option for Union SG coach David Hubert.
His competitive debut was particularly memorable. On 31 July, Mofokeng came off the bench against Club Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup final before converting the decisive penalty in the shootout.
He then announced himself in the Belgian Pro League, scoring on his league debut against K.V.C. Westerlo on 8 August. His performances have included a standout display against Royal Antwerp, where he helped dictate the tempo during a 2-0 victory.
His European adventure has also included the UEFA Europa League, where he scored in Union SG’s 3-0 victory over Viktoria Plzeň on 17 September. Mofokeng continued to make his presence felt on Sunday, laying on a brilliant assist to help Union SG secure a 3-0 victory over KFC Nijlen in the Belgian Cup.
David Hubert has already acknowledged the competition for places within his squad. But Mofokeng’s performances have strengthened his case for a regular role.
