RIP: SA U-20 Defender Passes Away

RIP: SA U-20 Defender Passes Away

Stellenbosch FC defender Oshwin Andries has sadly passed away, the club have confirmed.

The Western Cape outfit announced the news late on Saturday evening, but were not in a position to provide further information surrounding the player's passing.

The defender came through the Stellenbosch youth ranks and made appearances in the DStv Premiership, while he also became the club's youngest scorer in top-flight history with his only goal for the club against Royal AM.

Statement:

It is with deep sadness that Stellenbosch F.C. has learned of the untimely passing of promising young defender, Oshwin Andries.

The Club is not in a position to provide further information at this stage and asks that his family's privacy is respected in this difficult time of bereavement.

Andries was a gifted young footballer who graduated from the SFC Academy to make his professional debut at the age of 18. He later became the Club's youngest-ever goalscorer in the DStv Premiership and captained South Africa at the recent U-20 AFCON COSAFA qualifiers.

His presence, both on the pitch and off it, will be sorely missed. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Stellenbosch F.C. are with his family, friends and loved ones.

A further statement will follow in due course.

Soccer Laduma sends condolences to Adries' family and friends during this difficult time.
