Stellenbosch FC are poised to offer midfielder Darrell Matsheke a new and improved contract, sources have revealed.
Matsheke, who joined the club on a one-year deal with an option to extend in October, has impressed since his arrival, leading Stellenbosch to consider a long-term commitment.
The 24-year-old spent last season on loan at Moroka Swallows and played a crucial role in their survival campaign. Following his release from Kaizer Chiefs, he was training with Casric Stars before Stellenbosch snapped him up.
Matsheke’s quick adaptation and consistent performances have convinced the club to secure his services beyond the current season. The improved contract, according to sources, aims to prevent interested teams from poaching him in January when he enters the final six months of his contract.
