Off to 15th placed Stellenbosch FC. Hopefully he finds more consistent game time for his new club, and of more pressing concern - helps them move away from the foot of the ladder. 

Mods please update his club details.

Stellenbosch in the heart of SA’s wine growing area. Big uni town with lots of pretty Cape Dutch architecture. Big change from Durbs by the sea.

I’m still surprised he hasn’t had a crack at Europe. Presuming he has a useful passport through Fred, and he’d go alright in 2nd tier Holland, Denmark, Sweden. Mustn’t mind living behind razor wire, and looking 20 which ways every time you slow down in your car

So it's now Stellenbosch (14th) travelling to Orlando Pirates (8th)

https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2023/01/22/south-africa/psl/orlando-pirates/vasco-da-gama/3869080/

And De Jong gets a start for his new club
