The 31-year-old played in four matches this season before being sidelined by an injury, with Darren Johnson and Olwethu Mzimela doing well in his absence.
"It (competition) helps everyone to work hard and stay professional," said Ofori to the club website.
"It's good that everyone is performing not just in the goalkeeping department but throughout the entire team. Everyone is pushing each other to do better. One thing about football is that every player has their own abilities and strengths."
Ofori was recently left out of the matchday squad for Usuthu's KwaZulu-Natal 1-0 derby victory against Durban City at the Jonnson King's Park Stadium.
"It means the team is doing well, and we have to keep pushing together. The most important thing is the badge. It's bigger than all of us. This club has been here long before we came; it’s the oldest in the league," added Ofori.
“We must respect the badge and fight for it. Whether there’s competition or not, whoever plays, we all have to pull in the same direction and win as a team."
