With his much-needed CAF A coaching badge now in the bag, Stellenbosch FC head coach Steve Barker can’t wait to start competing in CAF competitions next season.
Stellenbosch Chief Executive Officer Rob Benadie says the club will try their utmost to keep the core of their squad intact, having seen a number of players being poached by bigger clubs in seasons gone by.
Stellenbosch FC have confirmed their interest in striker Lehlohonolo Mojela, a player SABC Sport understands is also the subject of discussions around possible transfers at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Stellenbosch FC's success this season has been attributed to its strong development programmes, and tournaments like the Engen Knockout Challenge have helped them mould top-quality youngsters.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has made a strong case why he should be handed the Coach of the Season award.
Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker is adamant their DStv Premiership rivals will not find it as easy to poach their best players.
