OFFICIAL: Stellenbosch starlet returns from European loan spell

Stellenbosch FC have announced the return of Faiz Abrahams from his loan spell with Israeli Second-tier outfit Hapoel Kfar Saba.

The 20-year-old forward was initially set to spend the entire 2025/26 campaign in Europe, in a bid to fast-track his development.

However, his loan stint was cut short after recording three goals and as many assists in 11 league matches.

Abrahams has now linked up with his teammates at his parent club, where he will be looking to impress new head coach Gavin Hunt, as he is available for selection.

Notably, the South Africa youth international, who signed for Stellies at the beginning of last season, lifted the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Amajita last year.

Having made his debut against Kaizer Chiefs in a league encounter in March 2025, he will be eager to add to his appearance tally for the club.

Stellenbosch return to action with a Betway Premiership clash against bottom-placed Magesi FC at the Danie Craven Stadium on Wednesday, 18 February.
