The 24-year-old has previously played for Portuguese club Pacos de Ferreira between 2014 and 2015.

"I don’t know, maybe he played with fear when he first came to the club. But I knew he would be the best in South Africa and even for Bafana Bafana," said Ofori to The Citizen.

"He had played in Portugal and learned a lot and most of the players he was with there have also graduated to the big leagues. I always told him that he would be a great defender."

De Reuck's consistent displays at the heart of Maritzburg's defence have reportedly attracted interest from several clubs including Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
