Stellenbosch Football Club is delighted to announce that the club has acquired the services of promising Ghanaian defender Prince Annor Amponsah on a long-term contract.

The 18-year-old centre-back spent his formative years with Scores Football Academy in Ghana before a short stint at the Ubuntu FC Academy landed him at Stellenbosch for a professional trial.

During this trial, Amponsah toured with the SFC U-21 team to India to compete in the international NextGen tournament before signing a professional contract with the club.

“We are massively excited with the signing of Prince and his addition to our squad,” head coach Steve Barker said. “He is a young player with huge potential.

“He has immense ability with the ball at his feet, a great passing range, and is all-round a really good defender, so we are excited to see him grow and develop with us at the club.”
