Stellenbosch FC have confirmed their first team squad for the 2022/23 campaign, with a new addition unveiled ahead of the weekend's season-opener.
After enjoying a record-breaking year in the DStv Premiership last season, in which Stellenbosch FC finished fourth in the league standings, club head coach Steve Barker has confirmed his squad that will compete in the 2022/23 campaign.
Stellies are set to get their season underway on Saturday when they travel to the Peter Mokaba Stadium to face Marumo Gallants, and they will host Kaizer Chiefs later this month in the club's first-ever appearance in the MTN 8.
The Cape Winelands-based club will head into the opening day with a 28-man squad that includes new signings Lasse Sobiech, Fawaaz Basadien, Vusi Sibiya, William Likuta, Nhlanhla Mgaga, Sihle Nduli and Sinethemba Mngomezulu.

Barker also revealed that he has added Glen Hahn to his first team squad after roping the striker into his squad after he top scored with Maties Football Club in the ABC Motsepe League last season.
Youngsters, Liam de Kock, Devin Titus, Lance Weaver, Oshwin Andries and Jayden Adams, all of whom starred for Stellenbosch at the Premier League Next Gen Cup in England last month, have also been promoted to the first team.
"...A new day is dawning, has dawned," Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie added during a media event held on Tuesday. "A victory is possible every day. We are no more calling ourselves a small club.
"When we got into the PSL, we were a small club with not many resources and who only wanted to survive. We are no longer using those words at this club. We are competing, not only participating in the Premiership."
