Stellenbosch FC have announced a massive transfer market signing in the acquisition of 18-year-old striker Luke Baartman from Cape Town Spurs. The signing is an indication that Stellenbosch is serious about nurturing youngsters and boosting their forward line for the new season.
Born on the 12th of June, 2006, Baartman is among the promising young South African strikers who plays predominantly as a center-forward but also enjoys operating from the wings. He stands at a height of 1.74 meters and has featured for South Africa in the U17 team, winning two caps.
Baartman joined Cape Town Spurs professionally in October 2023 and became an instant sensation. Even though the season was plagued by injuries, he was able to play two games and net two goals and register an assist, which proved his potential and determination.
With Baartman in the fold, Stellenbosch FC is banking on shoring up their attacking capabilities and building a team capable of playing at the highest level. The supporters will be looking forward to seeing how this young player integrates into the side and brings substance to the club’s ambitions this season.
This signing is a reflection of the ambition of Stellenbosch FC to develop young players and play with the best clubs in South African football.
