Ashley Cupido Joins Stellenbosch FC

Stellenbosch FC have struck a deal to sign Cape Town Spurs striker, Ashley Cupido.

On Tuesday, 27 August, a statement was published on Stellies’ official website confirming that the 23-year-old would be joining the team for the upcoming Premier Soccer League (PSL) season.

“Cupido joins the club on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee after spending the last four seasons with Spurs, where he scored 31 goals in 121 appearances across all competitions,” the statement said.

Stellenbosch FC CEO, Rob Benadie, heaped praise on Cupido: “He is a player who will fit our system well and who we believe has the ability to consistently feature at the top end of the PSL’s goal-scoring charts.”

In return, the Cape Winelands team has transferred forward Mervin Boji to Spurs, with Benadie expressing hope that the player will fulfil his potential there.

“Mervin is a local hero who we believe will take this opportunity to get more consistent game-time and realise his full potential,” Benadie said.
