South African winger Shandre Campbell has opened up after parting ways with SuperSport United to join Belgian outfit Club Brugge.

The eighteen-year-old signs a three-year contract with the team for an unknown sum.

The South African winger, a SuperSport academy graduate, made his senior squad debut in the 2023–24 campaign.

After an outstanding first season with SuperSport, in which he made 30 appearances across all competitions and recorded five goals and six assists, Campbell joins the Belgian team.

“I would firstly like to thank the head coach, Gavin Hunt for putting his faith and trust in me during the season and for never doubting me. I feel privileged to have worked with all the outstanding SuperSport United coaches and support staff who have guided me to be the best that I can be in every age group since I was 11,” Campbell said.

“I would also like to thank the Club Board and management for taking care of me and the other academy players in such a special way. A huge thank you to the players as well, without them my move to Europe wouldn’t have been possible. To Mr. Stan Matthews, who always believed in me, encouraged me and helped support my goals.

“SuperSport United has been so good to me ever since I joined their soccer schools and then their academy until today. This is not a goodbye, but hopefully the beginning of greater things in my career that make you proud. To the whole academy staff who have been my second family, especially the house fathers, aunties and drivers who look
after us, thank you so much.

“Lastly, I must thank my parents and the Almighty for giving me this wonderful opportunity to live my dream. My blood is blue. Forever SuperSport United.”
