Stellenbosch FC have announced that Head Coach Gavin Hunt has signed a two-year contract extension which will see him remain at the helm of Stellies until the end of 2027/2028 season.
The former SuperSport United coach joined the Maroons in December 2025 following the departure of long serving coach Steve Barker. Hunt oversaw the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign securing a ninth-placed finish in the Betway Premiership.
The 61-year-old, who has taken charge of more than 1000 top-flight matches in South African football, expressed excitement in continuing with a project he started in December 2025.
“I’m very excited about the project we’re building at Stellenbosch FC,” Hunt said.
“This is a fantastic club with fantastic facilities and is very professionally run.
“The staff, whom I inherited on my arrival, have been very welcoming and supportive towards me, and we share a fresh and positive outlook for the future.
“You can never forget what has happened in the past, where the club was very successful under the previous coaching regime, and we want to get back up to that place where we can be competitive again.
“It’s not going to be easy, and it’s not going to happen overnight, but we have a chance to rebuild the team, and I’m happy to have been entrusted with that responsibility.”
