Royale Union Saint-Gilloise are on the trail of Relebohile Mofokeng, the 21-year-old midfielder of Orlando Pirates. According to Belgian media, the club is set to make the move to the Jupiler Pro League soon.

What happened?

Mofokeng was one of the standout performers for Orlando Pirates in the 2025/26 season, with 11 goals and 9 assists in all competitions. He also put in a good showing at the World Cup with Bafana Bafana, where he started in the win over South Korea and played 45 minutes in the round of 16 clash against Canada.

Why does it matter for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise?

The arrival of Mofokeng would be a major boost for the Belgian club, who are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Mofokeng would not be the first South African to play for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, as Percy Tau had previously enjoyed a productive loan spell with the club in the 2018/2019 season.

What comes next?

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise are expected to finalize the transfer of Mofokeng soon, after which the player will travel directly from the United States to Belgium. The club hopes that Mofokeng will quickly settle into the Jupiler Pro League and make a significant contribution to the team.
