Stellenbosch FC have confirmed the signing of of Kenyan international defender, Brian Onyango, on a free transfer.
The 30-year-old joins Stellies on a free transfer after he was released by Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of last season.
Onyango arrives at the club with a wealth of experience to his name and boasts a track record of over 200 career appearances in South African football across previous spells with Sundowns, Maritzburg United, and Santos.
Speaking following his move to the Cape Winelands, the 30-year-old revealed that he has immediately bought into the Stellies project and is hoping to help add to the Carling Knockout title the club won last season.
“First of all, I would like to thank the almighty God for giving me another opportunity to showcase my talent, and the coach, technical staff, and management for affording me the chance to join the club,” Onyango said.
“Stellenbosch FC is a good, competitive club with ambitions to challenge for the title and in the cup competitions. There are very few players who could say no to a project like this.
“I’ve had the opportunity to meet and train with my new teammates and I have learned that they are good human beings, so I’m looking forward to getting started with the team.
“I’m also looking forward to sharing some of my experience with the squad and at the same time learning from their experience, because football is a journey where you have to keep learning every day.
“As for the season ahead, I was always taught to leave the jersey better than I found it, so I am looking forward to a good campaign and helping the team do even better than last year.”
