Olisa Ndah joins Stellenbosch FC

The one-time NPFL winner suffered a tibia and fibula fracture during the 24/25 NPFL season, and it took him 130 days to recover, but his performances on the pitch took a hit.

At the end of the winter transfer window, Orlando Pirates announced they'd parted ways with the Super Eagles centre-back by mutual consent.

He's now put pen to paper with another PSL club. While the club didn't mention the length of Ndah's contract, their CEO, Rob Benadie, was pleased with their latest acquisition.

“Olisa is a player with proven quality and experience at the highest level, and we are pleased to welcome him to Stellenbosch FC,” the CEO said.

“We are deliberate in our recruitment strategy to ensure that every signing complements the group, and having had the chance to assess him closely, we are confident he will be a valuable addition to our squad,” he concluded.

Before moving to South Africa in 2021, Ndah enjoyed success in the NPFL, winning the NPFL title with Akwa United, the first league crown in the club’s history.

At Stellenbosch, Ndah becomes the fourth Nigerian to represent the club, joining Ibraheem Jabaar, Kazie Enyinnaya, and Stanley Dimgba.

He will wear the number 99 jersey and will be hoping to make his debut when Stellenbosch face Magesi FC at the Danie Craven Stadium tomorrow.
