Moloisane parts ways with Stellenbosch

Bafana Bafana star Thabo Moloisane and Stellenbosch FC have parted ways after the Premier Soccer League released an official statement that the defender will leave the club at the end of his current contract.

The South African international is one of the key players for the Stellies since the time of Steve Barker, and now with Gavin Hunt. He joined the Cape Winelands side in 2023 from Maritzburg United, and went on to make over a hundred appearances in all competitions in the three years he spent with the Maroons.

The 27-year-old defender was also a key player when the Stellies won the Carling Knockout Cup, which is the club's first major title. He played in back-to-back MTN8 finals with the recent one being against Abdeslam Ouaddou at the beginning of the 2025-26 season, and has participated in the CAF Confederation Cup twice.

Stellenbosch FC also released an official statement on their website that Moloisane decided not to extend his stay in the Cape Winelands.

Moloisane also established himself as one of the leading defenders in local football during his stint at Stellenbosch, earning five appearances for Bafana Bafana and receiving a nomination for the 2024/25 Betway Premiership Defender of the Season accolade.

The club thanked the defender for his contribution, leadership, and commitment throughout his three-year spell with the team.

Moloisane set for Kaizer Chiefs' move

Moloisane has been heavily linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs, with reports suggesting an agreement in principle has already been reached between the two parties.

Despite earning five international caps, the defender was left out of Hugo Broos’ preliminary 32-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He did, however, feature three times for South Africa during the 2024 COSAFA Cup.

The Soweto giants are expected to announce the signing of Moloisane in a few days, and he could be the first signing of the club's new manager this summer.
