Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Tyren Arendse has urged Bafana Bafana attacker Relebohile Mofokeng to focus on improving his game.
The 21-year-old has scored nine goals in 2026 alone and is a top favourite to win PSL Player of the Year. In his last two matches, Mofokeng has scored five times, including a hat-trick against TS Galaxy.
Arendse believes opportunities will emerge for the Pirates winger to move overseas.
“At present, Mofokeng should focus on enjoying his football. When the timing is right, opportunities will arise,” he told KickOff.

“Some players perform well for an entire season and then are advised they are prepared to move, which is not always the case. He should aim to maintain this level of performance each season.
“The challenge for him is to sustain this form and to complete at least three seasons in the PSL,” Arendse added.
Arendse explained how Mofokeng can improve not only at Pirates but also playing in big tournaments for Bafana Bafana.
“Consistent performance at the national team level enhances a player’s development, as it involves competing against international players, which improves skill and experience.
“The national team coach previously expressed his opinion when Mbekezeli Mbokazi transferred to America, suggesting he was better suited for one of the major leagues. This will likely pose a significant challenge for Mofokeng and his management team as well,” Arendse concluded.
Mofokeng has scored 10 goals and provided six assists for Pirates across all competitions this season.
