It’s official: Ashley Du Preez has rejoined Stellenbosch FC on a permanent transfer from Kaizer Chiefs in a deal that sees the speedy forward return for a second spell at the winelands club. Du Preez had a topsy-turvy stay in Naturena, where he was loved and loathed at the same time by the fickle and hard-to-impress Amakhosi supporters. ‘It’s great to be back where I grew up’“I always knew that I would come back to Stellenbosch,” Du Preez told the Stellies website. According to Stellenbosch, Du Preez has been handed the iconic No. 10 jersey for the 2026-27 season and could be in line to make his debut when Stellenbosch FC take on Polokwane City in the Betway Premiership on 11 August.
