Gavin Hunt honoured to be joining 'forward-thinking' Stellenbosch

Hunt is one of South Africa's most experienced and decorated coaches, having won four top-flight titles with Bidvest Wits and SuperSport United, alongside two Nedbank Cups, an MTN8 trophy, a Telkom Knockout triumph, and six PSL Coach of the Season accolades.

He joins after parting ways with Durban City, who he left in a healthy seventh place on the Betway Premiership standings ahead of the December break.

Hunt told the Stellenbosch website: "I am honoured to be joining Stellenbosch FC at this exciting time.

"This is a forward-thinking Club with a clear vision, and from my first conversations with the CEO and staff, I could sense the ambition and the support structures that are in place. This is crucial for any coach who wants to succeed.

"Stellenbosch have built something special in recent years, and I am motivated to build on that foundation. There’s plenty of work ahead of us, but I am energized by the challenge.  

"The Winelands deserve success and I'm committed to giving everything I have to bring silverware and memorable moments to our supporters."

Hunt's first match in charge of Stellies will be against Sekhukhune United on 20 January 2026.
