We are strategically strengthening our team – Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker

Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker has opened up on the club’s transfer plans heading into the summer transfer window.

The club ended the South African Premiership campaign with a goalless draw against Cape Town City FC in the City Derby, and secured a place in next season’s Confederation Cup after finishing third in the competition.

Stellenbosch FC were knocked out in the semi-final round of the recently concluded CAF Confederation Cup after falling short to Tanzanian giants Simba AC, who finished as runners-up.

Heading into the new campaign, Stellenbosch FC are seeking to bolster their squad to make a meaningful impact.

In an interview, Steve Barker emphasized his outfit are strategically strengthening the team for the new campaign.

“We’re strategically strengthening key positions,” Barker stated. “These deals require patience – certain dominoes need to fall before finalizing our moves.”

“We’re evaluating all positions carefully,” he added, suggesting more departures and targeted reinforcements are imminent.
