Stellenbosch FC have announced the return of midfielder Darrel Matsheke to the club for a second spell.
The 27-year-old was most recently on the books of fellow Betway Premiership outfit Marumo Gallants before his return to the Cape Winelands.
The former Kaizer Chiefs academy player first turned out for Stellies during the 2023/24 campaign where he enjoyed success by being part of the squad that won the Carling Knockout trophy under Steve Barker and was on hand for the decisive spot kick during the penalty shootout victory over TS Galaxy in the final.
He made 12 appearances but saw his stay short-lived before signing for Pretoria Callies, Kruger United and then Bahlabane Ba Ntwa.
“It feels great to be back at Stellenbosch FC,” he told the club’s website.
“It was unexpected, but I am really happy to be here. I can only thank God for the opportunity, and the Club and the coach for trusting me enough to bring me back.
“I want to pick up where I left off on the field and help the team compete for more. I missed out on the opportunity to play in Africa last time, so there’s a bit of unfinished business, but this is a second chance for me to do more and achieve those goals.”
He will don the number 31 jersey and could make his Stellies debut as soon as this weekend when they take on his former club Kruger United in the Betway Premiership.
