'Words fail me...' - Ofori breaks silence on Pirates exit

Ahead of his move to AmaZulu FC, Richard Ofori has penned an emotional farewell to Orlando Pirates where he spent four years, winning multiple titles during that period.

KickOff broke the story on Sunday that the Ghanaian international had reached an agreement with Durban-based outfit AmaZulu to join on a free transfer.

While the move heralds the start of a new journey for Ofori, it also marks an official end to a four-year stay with the Buccaneers.

The three-time MTN8 winner has taken to social media platform Instagram to pen a heartfelt message on his exit from the club. 

"The past couple of years have been years of grace and power. I couldn't have been happier, more robust, focused and motivated than in a place I've called home," the Black Stars international wrote.

"Being part of the Orlando Pirates brought new challenges, joy, huddles, and energy. The time has now come for me to open a new chapter in my career.

"I want to thank the entire Orlando Pirates family. The staff, technical team, medical staff, board members, management, and players. I couldn't have asked for a better working environment than this. 

"It's been a fantastic, action-packed four years of my journey. We won and lost games, but every game felt like our lives depended on it. 

"It gave me so much energy and character to see a group of individuals fighting week in and week out to their last breath. I have picked a leaf and will carry it everywhere I go. To the fans, supporters, family and friends!

"You all hold a special place in my heart; I never take it for granted. You were always there for me, both good and bad. I honestly can't thank you enough. You were all my pillars of strength.
