Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Happy Mashiane rejected by Betway Premiership side Stellenbosch FC

Gavin Hunt has decided against signing Happy Mashiane.

The Stellenbosch FC coach has rejected bringing the left-back to Stellies after the player undergone a week long assessment at the Cape Winelands side.

Mashiane is in the market after seeing his contract at Kaizer Chiefs terminated which rendered him a free agent after a failed spell at Siwelele FC last season.

Stellies are desperate for a left-back after their regular man last season Omega Mdaka left to join his former youth coach Arthur Zwane at AmaZulu.

The void left by Mdaka at Stellies was seen to be Mashiane's chance to close it but it was not to be even though both the player and coach worked together at Chiefs before.

That made it look certain that Mashiane would sign for Stellenbosch FC.
