AmaZulu goalkeeper Richard Ofori says that the competition from foreign players helps others like Bafana Bafana’s Ronwen Williams to become better players.

According to a report by IOL, Ofori disagreed with Gavin Hunt’s assertion that local keepers in the PSL are being “held back” by foreigners.

The Ghanaian sees things differently, and says that local goalkeepers are pushed to be better than their foreign teammates and cited the example of Ronwen Williams and Denis Onyango at Mamelodi Sundowns.

“[They] Improve other goalkeepers as well, if you can see Williams… the time when he was at SuperSport, and now, you will see the changes,” Ofori said, according to iDiski Times.

“Now, he needs to step up his game because Onyango and Co are there, and it helps the country a lot.”

You can see now he’s one of the best goalkeepers in the world and competing for the Ballon d’Or, it also tells you that sometimes you need the best to beat the best,” he added.
