Goalkeeper Richard Ofori has not regretted choosing Maritzburg United over Mamelodi Sundowns.

Ofori spent two weeks on trial at the Chloorkop-based club prior to joining the Midlands club at the beginning of the campaign.

The Ghana No.1 gloves man is happy with the decision he made to choose the relatively smaller club in the heart of KwaZulu- Natal.

''I’m really happy that I’m making an impact at the club. I’m well received here and I get to play and I know I need to work harder to achieve more,'' he told The Witness

''Sundowns are a good team and they have a good reputation in Africa. So any player wants to play for them but in football you have to make decisions that make sense to you. It made sense to me to choose Maritzburg.

''They are just as hungry and they have an excellent coaching team and the staff. It was a gamble I was willing to take and it paid off.

''Here I am about to play a major Cup semi-final clash with Sundowns. But our target is to get to the final and that’s the focal point.''

Ofori and his men must try to stop Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup semi-final on Sunday at the Harry Gwala Stadium.
