Stellenbosch FC have confirmed that veteran goalkeeper Lee Langeveldt has committed his future to the club.

The 38-year-old has signed a new contract with the club, which sees him enter his 21st season of his professional career.

The Stellenbosch-born shot-stopper is the only member left of the Stellies squad that gained promotion from the National First Division in the 2018-19 season.

Langeveldt has kept 20 clean sheets while conceding 42 goals from 48 appearances for Stellies across all competitions.

“Stellenbosch FC is proud to announce that veteran goalkeeper Lee Langeveldt has signed a contract extension that will see him enter his 21st season as a professional,” Stellenbosch said in a statement.

“Langeveldt, who hails from Stellenbosch, will remain part of the first-team squad for the 2025/26 season before being provided the opportunity to transition into a backroom role, where he will serve as a goalkeeper coach for the club’s Reserve, Youth, and Ladies teams.

“This agreement forms part of the club’s broader commitment to creating structured post-playing pathways for players who have served with distinction, as already reflected in the presence of former midfielder Angelo Kerspuy in the club’s Team Manager role.

“Langeveldt is the last remaining member of the playing squad that won the 2018/19 National First Division title and earned promotion to the top flight, and played a key role in establishing Stellies’ status as a Premiership side during the club’s early seasons in the competition.

“His experience and leadership, combined with a deep-rooted connection to both the club and the wider community, uniquely position him to make a lasting impact both on and off the pitch for Stellenbosch FC.”
