Hailing from Jamestown, Stellenbosch, local boy Tylon Smith is a graduate of the Stellenbosch FC academy and played a starring role in the Club’s triumphs at the Engen Knockout, Engen Champ of Champs, and DStv Diski Challenge last season"

“I am incredibly happy and proud to have signed my first professional contract with Stellenbosch FC,” Smith said after putting pen to paper.

“The next step for me is to help the first team, hopefully to win more trophies, and I can promise the Club and our supporters that I will show the hard work, winning mentality, and fighting spirit that is needed to succeed at Stellenbosch FC.”
