It is with profound sadness that Stellenbosch Football Club has learned of the untimely passing of our former player Jayden Adams.

The Club wishes to extend its deepest condolences to Jayden’s family and loved ones, as well as everyone at Mamelodi Sundowns, and calls for their privacy to be respected during this unimaginably difficult time.

A prodigious footballer, he made his professional debut for Stellenbosch FC at the age of 19 and went on to make 139 senior appearances, helping the Maroons lift the Carling Knockout trophy in 2023.

After joining Sundowns in 2025, Jayden continued to showcase his immense talent, and he recently represented South Africa at the highest level at the FIFA World Cup in North America.

A proud flagbearer for the Cape Winelands, Jayden leaves behind a lasting legacy in Stellenbosch and an enduring impact on South African football. He will be deeply missed, and never forgotten.
