Stellenbosch FC Strengthen Squad by Securing Prolific Striker Bradley Grobler
Stellenbosch FC have officially announced the signing of veteran striker Bradley Grobler on a one-year deal, with an option to extend. The 38-year-old forward arrives in the Cape Winelands on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract with Sekhukhune United, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a proven track record in front of goal.
In a statement, Stellenbosch expressed their excitement: “Stellenbosch FC is delighted to announce the signing of decorated striker Bradley Grobler on a free transfer. Regarded as one of South Africa’s most prolific goalscorers, Grobler arrives in the Winelands with 129 PSL goals to his name and stands within touching distance of Peter Shalulile’s all-time record.”
Grobler’s arrival is a significant coup for Stellenbosch, who continue to blend youthful talent with seasoned campaigners. His leadership and scoring ability are expected to provide a cutting edge to the club’s attack as they aim to challenge strongly in the Betway Premiership and cup competitions this season.
The striker’s career has been defined by consistency and longevity. Over the years, Grobler has established himself as one of the most reliable forwards in South African football, with his tally of 106 league goals placing him among the PSL’s all-time greats. His ability to deliver in crucial moments has made him a respected figure across the league.
The PSL Premiership’s all-time top scorers list underscores Grobler’s legacy: he leads with 106 league goals, ahead of Siyabonga Nomvethe on 105, while Peter Shalulile follows with 92. When factoring in cup and continental competitions, Shalulile edges ahead with 133 goals, but Grobler remains close behind on 129 — a testament to his enduring impact.
For Stellenbosch, the signing is not only about goals but also about mentorship. Grobler’s presence in the dressing room is expected to inspire younger forwards, offering guidance and instilling professionalism. His experience in high-pressure matches will be invaluable as the club seeks to cement its place among South Africa’s elite.
As the new season unfolds, all eyes will be on Grobler to see if he can continue his remarkable scoring run and possibly surpass Shalulile’s record. For Stellenbosch supporters, his arrival represents ambition, belief, and the promise of memorable moments in the Cape Winelands.
