Born on the 29th of February, 2008 in Belgium, Jorthy Mokio stands as a testament to dedication and aptitude. At just 17 years of age, Mokio has carved out a reputation as a formidable central defender, making a name for himself at the globally renowned club, Ajax. Standing at 1.82m (5ft 11in) and weighing in at 76kg (11st 13lb), Mokio is not to be underestimated on the pitch. The impressively young athlete, endowed with the number 31 jersey, has also shown promise on the international stage, called upon to represent Belgium’s national team.
As it stands, Mokio's market value rests comfortably around the £6.8m mark, according to unique and trusted footballing database Transfermarkt. Mokio has accumulated quite a respectable portfolio. His contract with Ajax is remaining steady, sprawling across 1 year and 12 months and intended to expire on the 30th of June, 2027.
Tracing back to the beginning of Mokio's career, the defender put on quite a show at Jong Ajax in the Netherlands during the 2024 - 2025 season. With 17 first team appearances and two goals notched up, Mokio’s future looked bright. Shifting to the 2024 - 2025 season, Mokio switched teams but not his persistent work ethos, making 11 first team appearances and scoring an impressive goal for Ajax in the Netherlands.
Mokio’s talent didn’t just stay local within clubs, however. The young defender found himself representing Belgium in the Nations League 2024 - 2025, making an appearance as a substitute. His extraordinary ability was put on full display again in the Europa League 2024 - 2025 for Ajax, where Mokio scored a commendable goal within four starts and made two substitute appearances.
Whilst not a part of the Celtic roster, Mokio's determination, skill and clear potential illuminate the footballing world, his career with Ajax inspiring deserving respect and wonder.
