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.
