In a surprise move, the 21-year-old has transferred to Belgian outfit KV Kortrijk ahead of the new season. The midfielder has signed a four year contract with De Kerels, which comes off the back of his first season with the senior Blue-Black team where he made 11 appearances and scored one goal.
South Africa's head coach has offered his assessment of the 21-year-old's imminent move to the Belgian Pro League. The Orlando Pirates sensation is on the verge of a lucrative switch to Royale-Union St Gilloise following a stellar domestic season and an eye-catching World Cup campaign.
In a statement released online the Soweto club confirmed all the fevered speculation was correct and the 21-year-old was getting his dream move to Europe. They also revealed that the deal had already been concluded before Mofokeng left for the World Cup but was kept quiet to allow the youngster to focus on the tournament.
With multiple media outlets reporting the youngster is finalising a deal to move to Belgium champions Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, Blues legend Salomon Kalou has thrown his weight behind the 21-year-old, insisting the youngster has the quality and technical ability to thrive in any European league.
The representatives of Siviwe Magidigidi have moved to clarify reports suggesting the forward has gone absent without leave from Belgian club K Beerschot VA. Rumours had begun to swirl regarding the youngster’s future after he failed to return to Europe following a trip home to Mzansi.
The 20-year-old has returned to his club from the 2025 AFCON finals, where he did not taste any game time for South Africa. He is now pushing for increased minutes at club level to boost his chances of not only making the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad, but also featuring on the pitch. However, his comeback to the Blue-Blacks was marred by a red card setback.
