Goalkeeper Richard Ofori has shut opened on his future after an impressive season with Durban outfit AmaZulu.
The former Orlando Pirates shotstopper has blossomed into a key player in an ambitious Usuthu side that finished sixth on the Betway Premiership log table after an underwhelming start to the season that saw it languishing in the relegation zone.

Ofori kept nine clean sheets from his 22 appearances, becoming the Durban-based outfit’s number one choice ahead of Veli Mothwa.
Still only 31, Ofori has years to come between the goal posts and the moment, and was quick to shut down any suggestions of hanging up his gloves or a move, insisting that he is content with life at Usuthu.
The Ghana international tells KICK OFF that he does not have retirement in mind and is committed to the AmaZulu project.
"I’m thinking about it (retirement) in a sense of planning ahead, you know. But not in terms of I’m thinking of retiring soon, no. I think for a goalkeeper, I still have many playing years in me," Ofori said.
"I’ve recently joined this beautiful family at AmaZulu, and it’s a big team with big ambitions. It’s an awesome environment and a great family.
"The team is good, the players, the management, everyone is loving. So, I am enjoying my football.
"I’m working hard to help the team achieve these ambitions and fulfil what we believe is the team’s potential. Overall, I’m very happy."

Having finished sixth last season, Ofori and Co. will be looking to secure a top-four finish when the 25/26 campaign gets underway, and with that a return to continental football.
