Van Wyk has been one of the top performing players for Stellenbosch in the first round of the season, with the winger’s dribbling skills and speed seeing him make a huge impact in their fixtures.
One of his biggest performances for Stellies was in their last fixture against Orlando Pirates last year, where he came on as a substitute and inspired his side to win a DStv Premiership match 3-2 after being 2-0 down.
Huge potential
The winger has been part of the Stellenbosch senior side since last season, and his displays for the club have been impressive, earning the trust of his coach Steve Barker. Van Wyk is a young player with huge potential and he is already showing glimpses of his qualities at the top level.
“I remember when the club’s (Stellenbosch) reserves won the Diski Challenge there were teams who inquired after his services. Now that he has played more games in the senior team people see how good he is. No wonder the likes of Chiefs have been monitoring him. If the club agrees to sell him, then he won’t be coming cheap,” said a source.
