Stellenbosch FC has officially confirmed the departure of two Nigerian defenders, Olisa Ndah and Kazie Enyinnaya, bringing an end to their respective spells at the club. The announcement, made public via the club’s official channels, marks the conclusion of Ndah’s brief and injury-hit tenure in the Western Cape. Ndah, a 28-year-old centre-back, joined Stellenbosch midway through the previous season, seeking regular playing time after falling out of favour at Orlando Pirates. However, his time at the Danie Craven Stadium proved underwhelming. Under the guidance of head coach Gavin Hunt, Ndah managed only seven league appearances, struggling with fitness and competition for places. In contrast, Kazie Enyinnaya’s exit comes after a more substantial contribution to the club. Enyinnaya, a right-back, arrived at Stellenbosch in 2024, making the switch from Nigeria Premier Football League outfit Rivers United. He quickly adapted to the pace and demands of South African football, going on to feature in over 50 matches across all competitions for the Maroons. Known for his tireless runs down the flank and defensive resilience, he became a reliable option in the squad. However, with Stellenbosch looking to restructure and inject younger talent into their backline, the club opted not to extend his stay. Both players are now expected to explore free-agent markets, with potential returns to the NPFL or moves to other clubs in Southern Africa being rumoured. Stellenbosch FC thanked the duo for their professionalism and wished them success in their future endeavours. The club’s decision to part ways with the Nigerian defenders is seen as a strategic move to revamp their squad ahead of the new season. With the departure of Ndah and Enyinnaya, Stellenbosch FC is expected to make some key signings in the coming weeks. The team’s fans will be eagerly waiting to see who will be joining the squad next. And as the transfer window heats up, Stellenbosch FC is likely to be one of the busiest teams in the league. But for now, the focus is on the departing players, who will always be remembered for their contributions to the club. So, as Ndah and Enyinnaya move on to new challenges, Stellenbosch FC will be looking to build on their recent performances and make a strong push for the top spots in the league.
