Stellenbosch Football Club is delighted to announce the acquisition of Thabiso Lebitso on a permanent transfer from Orlando Pirates.

Stellenbosch FC has bolstered its squad ahead of the 2026-27 campaign by acquiring the services of versatile defender Thabiso Lebitso on a long-term deal.

Lebitso spent the last two seasons with Orlando Pirates, where he helped the Buccaneers win the Betway Premiership, Carling Knockout, and back-to-back MTN8 titles.

“We are pleased to welcome Thabiso to the Cape Winelands,” Stellenbosch FC CEO, Rob Benadie, said.

“He is a player who has consistently demonstrated his quality at the highest level of South African football and brings a valuable mix of experience and versatility to our squad.

“As a Club, we continuously aim to improve and compete at the highest level, and the addition of a player of Thabiso’s calibre strongly reflects that ambition.”

Lebitso will also reunite with Head Coach Gavin Hunt, under whom he featured during his spell with Chippa United earlier in his career. His jersey number will be revealed in due course.
