In addition, Stellenbosch FC head coach Steve Barker welcomed the arrival of Masuluke to the club.
The coach explained why he believes Masuluke will be a good fit at the club.
“As a club, we always want to have competitiveness and depth in all of our positions, and adding Oscarine to our goalkeeping department provides that,” said Barker.
“I had a stint coaching him at the DStv Compact Cup last year and saw his qualities there, and that definitely played a part in the decision to bring him in.
“He’s a goalkeeper with massive experience, great quality, and good size. He’s good with his hands and feet, and he’s a good shot-stopper, so he’s been brought in to add that extra depth and quality,” added the Stellies coach.
