Lebitso excited for Gavin Hunt reunion at Stellenbosch

The 34-year-old wingback had previously played under Hunt during his stint at Chippa United and will now be part of the coaches' new look squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.

He played 21 matches under the former Kaizer Chiefs coach during his spell with the Chilli Boys, providing one assist whilst mostly being used as a winger before being utilized as a right-back following his move to Orlando Pirates.

"Having worked with coach Gavin before helps to a certain extent because he knows what you can do as a player," said Lebitso to the club's media team.

"So, it obviously makes it a bit easier. It helps because you're not starting from afresh and you know what the coach's expectations of you are coming in.

"Stellies have more of the young players and are doing very well, so my role is to add more value to the team with the young ones."

Lebitso made 27 appearances for Betway Premiership champions Orlando Pirates, scoring one goal and providing four assists.
