Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder George Matlou has of this morning started training with Stellenbosch FC as he looks to map a new way in his career.
The 27-year-old was released by the Glamour Boys following the expiration of his contract at the end of June. Happy Mashiane and Tashreeq Morris were the other two confirmed exits.
iDiski Times can confirm that the former Swallows FC midfielder arrived in the Western Cape a few days ago and is now looking to impress the Stellies technical team under the watchful eye of head coach Gavin Hunt.
Stellenbosch are looking to boost their midfield options after losing Mthetheleli Mthiyane to Orlando Pirates and Ibraheem Jabaar on a free transfer in the current transfer window.
Hunt views Matlou as a solid replacement as talks are still ongoing between the club and the player’s camp.
Matlou left Chiefs after four seasons having helped the side to win the Nedbank Cup which was their first trophy in 10 years. He however did not enjoy much game time last season after suffering an injury which lead to his departure.
