Stellenbosch FC have announced that head coach Gavin Hunt has signed a contract extension with the club.

The 61-year-old coach joined Stellies in December last year and helped the club to a ninth-place finish in the Betway Premiership during the 2025-26 season.

Hunt will now remain in charge of the club for the next two seasons after putting pen to paper on a new deal.

The Stellies mentor is delighted to have signed a new deal with the club but is excited to rebuild for the season ahead.

“I’m very excited about the project we’re building at Stellenbosch FC,” Hunt told his club’s official website.

“This is a fantastic club with fantastic facilities and is very professionally run.

“The staff, whom I inherited on my arrival, have been very welcoming and supportive towards me, and we share a fresh and positive outlook for the future.

“You can never forget what has happened in the past, where the club was very successful under the previous coaching regime, and we want to get back up to that place where we can be competitive again.

“It’s not going to be easy, and it’s not going to happen overnight, but we have a chance to rebuild the team, and I’m happy to have been entrusted with that responsibility.”
