Stellenbosch are looking to bolster their squad following the departure of Sibongiseni Mthethwa who recently joined Kaizer Chiefs. The Winelands outfit have already lost three of their key players in the space of two seasons, with Ashley Du Preez and Junior Mendieta both joining Mamelodi Sundowns.
Impressively, Stellies have managed to bounce back thanks to their flourishing youth academy and their eye for talent. The Siya crew have been led to believe that Stellies have set their sights on former Chiefs development product Darrel Matsheke who is currently a free agent after parting ways with Moroka Swallows.
Matsheke is viewed as the ideal replacement for ‘Ox’ as Mthethwa is known and at 24, is already an experienced player having featured for the Glamour Boys before enjoying two separate loan stints with Uthongathi and Swallows respectively.
Given that he is a free agent, Matsheke is not bound by the transfer window that recently slammed shut and would be able to join coach Steve Barker’s side immediately if the two parties were to reach an agreement.
