Premier Soccer League club Stellenbosch FC has announced that Head Coach Gavin Hunt has signed a contract extension with the Club that will see him remain at the helm for the next two seasons.

Hunt took charge of the Maroons in December last year and oversaw the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign as the Club secured a ninth-place finish in the Betway Premiership.

The 61-year-old, who has taken charge of more than 1000 top-flight matches in South African football, will now continue to lead the team forward after putting pen to paper on a two-year contract extension.

“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,” added Hunt.
