Stellenbosch FC have announced that they have tied down three key players to new contracts ahead of the 2021-22 DStv Premiership season.
Stellies captain Robyn Johannes, left back Marc van Heerden and midfielder Granwald Scott have all penned new one-year contracts, which keep them at the club until June 2022.
The news comes after the Winelands club signed Argentinian playmaker Junior Mendieta on a permanent deal after impressing head coach Steve Barker while on loan at Stellies last season.
“Robyn Johannes signs till ’22. The Skipper puts pen to paper for yet another season. With a career of top-flight football spanning over 19 years, Johannes undoubtedly gets the nod for some more,” Stellenbosch confirmed on Twitter.
