Stellenbosch FC is pleased to announce the signing of South Africa youth international Gopolang Taunyana on a permanent transfer from Kaizer Chiefs.
The 20-year-old joins Stellenbosch after progressing through the youth ranks at Kaizer Chiefs, where he established himself as one of the country’s brightest prospects in recent seasons.
“First and foremost, I want to thank my Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, for the opportunity, because I am very excited to join Stellenbosch FC,” Taunyana said. “This is a team that is well known for development and having great facilities and coaches, so I’m grateful to be here.
“Growing as a player and a person is the most important thing for me, and I felt that this was the right step for my career and the right environment for me to grow. This is an environment where a lot of players have shone in the past, so I’m excited to go on that journey now as well.”
“For the team, the thing that makes people the happiest is to compete with the best, win trophies and ultimately succeed as a team, so I hope to be able to look back one day and say we achieved that together.”
Taunyana will wear the No. 21 jersey this season and could be in line to make his debut when Stellenbosch FC take on Polokwane City in the Betway Premiership on 11 August.
