As the 2025/26 season draws to a close with most teams left with five matches, the Footballer of the Season debate is heating up. We pick five potential candidates for the prestigious PSL Footballer of the Season accolade.
The 21-year-old Mofokeng had a slow start to the current campaign, only scoring his first league goal in Pirates 12th league game of the campaign. From there, Mofokeng hasnt looked back, establishing himself as the hottest property in the league. The Bafana Bafana star, whos been playing mainly as a playmaker rather than as a winger this season, has played a crucial role in Pirates title push. Mofokeng also helped Pirates win the MTN8 and the Carling Knockout. He has scored 11 goals and racked up eight assists from 31 games in all competitions.
The evergreen Mokoena, whos already won the PSL Footballer of the Season gong back in the 2022/23 season, has been solid again this season. The 29-year-old illustrious midfielder has influenced a number of games for the Brazilians, especially in the league as they aim for what would be their ninth league title. The Bafana midfield workhorse has found the back of the net five times with one assist from 32 outings across all competitions.
