Hunt joins the Maroons after he parted ways with fellow Betway Premiership outside Durban City FC.

The 61-year-old now succeeds former head coach Steve Barker, who parted ways with the club with immediate effect.

Hunt has since spoken out for the first time since his appointment as their new head coach.

“I am honoured to be joining Stellenbosch FC at this exciting time,” Hunt told his club’s official website.

“This is a forward-thinking Club with a clear vision, and from my first conversations with the CEO and staff, I could sense the ambition and the support structures that are in place. This is crucial for any coach who wants to succeed.

“Stellenbosch have built something special in recent years, and I am motivated to build on that foundation. There’s plenty of work ahead of us, but I am energised by the challenge.

“The Winelands deserve success, and I’m committed to giving everything I have to bring silverware and memorable moments to our supporters.”
