New Stellenbosch FC signing Bradley Grobler has set his sights on winning silverware with the club after making the move to the Cape Winelands.

Grobler arrives at the club as a free agent after he parted ways with Sekhukhune United.

The 38-year-old will now reunite with former Matsatsantsa coach Gavin Hunt in Stellenbosch.

The experienced striker believes Stellenbosch have the quality and ambition to compete for trophies and is eager to play his part in helping the club achieve its goals.

“It feels amazing to be at Stellenbosch FC. This is a club that I’ve always admired for the way it is run and the players it has produced over the years.

“It’s a club I probably should have considered joining a long time ago. Arriving here, meeting everyone, and getting an understanding of what the Club is about have made it an easy decision.

“There’s a lot of potential here in Stellenbosch. When you look at the players that have signed and combine it with the youngsters coming through, it becomes a very exciting opportunity.”

He added: “It also certainly helps when you’ve worked with the coach before, and I’ve worked with Coach Gavin a few times in my career, and we’ve always worked well together.

“But it’s not only him. The people around and involved in the Club have all made me feel like I’ve been here for years already.

“I’m someone who has always taken pride in what I do, and when a club shows interest in me the way Stellenbosch has, I want to make them proud and give the fans something to celebrate.

“This is a team that I believe can compete for trophies. For me personally, nearing the end of my career, I’d also love to win more silverware, and I believe we can do that together.

“The Club is ambitious, and the coach is ambitious, so I just want to come in and add as much value as I can,” he concluded.
