Premiership club Stellenbosch FC have bolstered their midfield with the
signing of former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Darrel Matsheke. Matsheke, who
was loaned out to Swallows FC (now Moroka Swallows) last season by
Amakhosi, has signed a one-year deal with an option to extend for another
campaign.
Speaking on the signing, Stellenbosch coach Steve Barker said: “Darrel
adds quality and depth to our midfield positions, specifically as a
defensive midfielder. He is technically sound, plays with a lot of energy
and intensity, and has the ability to break down attacks, and once he has
done that he has the ability to then progress the ball either through the
quality of his passing or by carrying the ball.”
We are delighted to announce that the club has acquired the services of midfielder Darrel Matsheke.

Matsheke comes in as a replacement for the departed Sibongiseni Mthethwa
and looks set to make his debut after the international break.
The signing of Matsheke is another indication of Stellenbosch’s ambitions
to compete in the Premiership and follows the recent acquisition of former
Bafana Bafana international Siyabonga Nomvethe.
