Lehlohonolo Mojela Stellenbosch future secured: Contract length revealed
Stellenbosch FC has recently signed Bafana Bafana attacker Lehlohonolo Bradley Mojela, ending speculation about his future.
Mojela, currently at the COSAFA Cup, is expected to make a significant impact at his new club.
The deal, though yet to be officially announced, marks a dramatic turn of events. Mojela’s soon-to-be former club, TS Galaxy, was initially reluctant to release players for national duty. However, Stellenbosch FC reportedly intervened, securing the player’s participation in the COSAFA Cup ahead of his imminent move.
The transfer is believed to involve a swap deal with Qobolwakhe Sibande heading to TS Galaxy, although both clubs have remained tight-lipped about the specifics.
TS Galaxy faces a FIFA ban due to outstanding payments owed to an Ivorian striker, Bernard Yao Kouassi. Still, sources suggest they are on the verge of resolving the issue, paving the way for Sibande’s smooth transition.
Mojela, who will join forces with another new signing, Sanele Barns from Richards Bay FC, is set to bolster Stellenbosch FC’s attack as they prepare for the CAF Confederation Cup.
HOW LONG IS LEHLOHONOLO BRADLEY MOJELA’S CONTRACT AT STELLENBOSCH FC
The 27-year-old penned a two-year contract with an option for a third. His addition brings experience and youthful energy, creating a formidable frontline for the upcoming season.
This signing underscores Stellenbosch FC’s ambition to compete at the highest level domestically and on the continental stage. With Mojela’s goal-scoring ability and a talented supporting cast, the club is poised to make a significant mark in the upcoming season.
The former Casric Stars and Platinum City featured in 34 matches in his first season in the DStv Premiership. He scored seven goals and provided one assist in all competitions. He is a product of the Shumba Academy run by former Orlando Pirates captain Edelbert Dinha.
