Stellenbosch FC left back Fawaaz Basadien admits he has had the best season of his career in the Premier Soccer League during the 2024-25 season.

Basadien helped Stellies secured a third place finish in the Betway Premiership and did he part as they reached the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup.

The 28-year-old played a crucial role in their goal creation, having scored seven goals and registered eight assists in 45 matches.

His exploits for the club has seeen him being named Footballer of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season at Stellies award ceremony.

“It has, without a doubt, been my best season in the PSL, not only in terms of quality but also statistically,” Basadien told his club’s official website.

“I’m especially proud of my 15 goal and assist contributions for the season, which I believe reflect my all-around contribution towards my team’s attacking philosophy.

“Defensively, we were also very tight at the back, conceding the least number of goals behind Sundowns & Pirates, and I believe our Confederations Cup experience also made me a better player, especially on the mental side.

“This all has allowed me to take my game to the next level and will hopefully stand me in good stead if I get an opportunity to represent Bafana Bafana again.”
