Stellenbosch FC Parts Ways With Ndah, Enyinnaya

South African Premier Division side Stellenbosch FC has officially confirmed the departure of two Nigerian defenders, Olisa Ndah and Kazie Enyinnaya, bringing an end to their respective spells at the club.

The announcement, made public via the club’s official channels, marks the conclusion of Ndah’s brief and injury-hit tenure in the Western Cape.

The 28-year-old centre-back joined Stellenbosch midway through the previous season, seeking regular playing time after falling out of favour at Orlando Pirates. However, his time at the Danie Craven Stadium proved underwhelming. Under the guidance of head coach Gavin Hunt, Ndah managed only seven league appearances, struggling with fitness and competition for places.

Despite his experience and physical presence, the former Pirates man failed to cement a starting role, leading to a mutual decision for him to move on.

In contrast, Kazie Enyinnaya’s exit comes after a more substantial contribution to the club. The right-back arrived at Stellenbosch in 2024, making the switch from Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) outfit Rivers United.

Enyinnaya quickly adapted to the pace and demands of South African football, going on to feature in over 50 matches across all competitions for the Maroons.

Known for his tireless runs down the flank and defensive resilience, he became a reliable option in the squad.

However, with Stellenbosch looking to restructure and inject younger talent into their backline, the club opted not to extend his stay.

Both players are now expected to explore free-agent markets, with potential returns to the NPFL or moves to other clubs in Southern Africa being rumored.

Stellenbosch FC thanked the duo for their professionalism and wished them success in their future endeavors.
