Stellenbosch FC sign Jordan Mack after standout Antalyaspor season

Jordan Mack has completed his move to Stellenbosch FC after an outstanding 2026 campaign in which he helped Antalyaspor JPM Cape Town finish third at the Engen Knockout Champ of Champs.

The Cape Town-based academy announced the transfer on 8 October 2026, calling it a proud moment as Mack moved from youth football into the professional ranks.

The transfer concludes a highly successful 12 months for the forward, who won several team trophies and individual awards while establishing himself as one of the Western Cape’s leading attacking prospects.

Mack’s honours during that period include the 2026 Bayhill Premier Cup, the 2026 Engen Knockout Challenge title and a bronze medal at the Engen Knockout Champ of Champs, held at the University of Pretoria High Performance Centre from 1-4 October 2026.

Antalyaspor JPM Cape Town represented the Western Cape at the national competition and progressed through the group stages before losing 1-0 to eventual champions Kaizer Chiefs in the semi-final.

Despite that defeat, the academy secured third place overall. The result completed a campaign which began with regional success in July before ending with national recognition in October.

Mack had already made a significant impact at the Cape Town leg of the Engen Knockout Challenge, where he collected three individual awards.

He was named Player of the Tournament and Best Striker, while also sharing the Joint Top Goalscorer award with Antalyaspor JPM Cape Town team-mates Lwandle Lingi and Thurston Phillips.

Antalyaspor JPM Cape Town claimed the title after beating Ubuntu Football Academy on penalties in the final on 26 July 2026. The match at Erica Park in Belhar ended 1-1 after normal play.

That victory secured the Cape Town side’s place at the national Engen Champ of Champs. Mack continued to demonstrate the qualities that attracted Stellenbosch FC, contributing with goals, creating opportunities and leading the attack as Antalyaspor faced regional champions from across South Africa.

His performances across both stages of the competition, together with his success in the Bayhill Premier Cup, helped underline his development before his move into the professional game.
