Orlando Pirates continue to put their faith in youth, officially promoting 22-year-old forward Neo Mokoena to the first team after his impressive displays at youth level, thesouthafrican reports.
Mokoena, like Relebohile Mofokeng, wore the number 15 shirt and is already drawing comparisons to last year’s breakout star. After training with the first team at the end of last season, the club decided to make his promotion permanent.
The young winger could become the next key figure on the flank, with his pace, skill, and eye for goal making him a real threat. His rise is part of Orlando Pirates’ long-term vision focused on developing local talent. The club remains committed to its academy and sees Mokoena as the next attacking leader who could soon make an impact at PSL level.
