Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie has revealed that Thabo Moloisane has not yet agreed to a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in June.
The centre-back has been linked with a potential move away since last season, 1attracting interest from clubs in Gauteng as well as overseas.
Since joining the Cape Winelands outfit from Maritzburg United (now Durban City) in 2023, Moloisane has established himself as a key figure in defence. He has made 107 appearances, contributing four goals and three assists.
Benadie confirmed that the club tabled what he described as a “very competitive” offer in an effort to retain the defender, but no agreement has been reached.
He added that, at this stage, Moloisane has not signed a pre-contract with another club.
“I’m going to be totally honest and transparent with you. Thabo Moloisane, we would like to keep him,” said Banadie.
“We’ve offered him a contract and he hasn’t signed it. So, he is a free agent. You know, as we speak, he can sign a pre-contract.
“Whether he’s done that or not, according to him and his agent and the information that’s been provided to me, he hasn’t signed with anybody yet.
“And, you know, we’re a club with limited resources. We don’t have an unlimited budget. So, if I’m going to pay you R10 grand, I’m going to have to take R2 off another player’s budget and so on.
“So, we’ve offered him a very competitive, what we think is a very competitive contract. And it’s now up to the player to decide if he wants to stay with us or go somewhere else. And we will prepare for both scenarios.”
