Stellenbosch confirm death of clubs youngest-ever PSL goalscorer Oshwin Andries

DStv Premiership outfit Stellenbosch FC has confirmed that midfielder Oshwin Andries has died on Saturday.

The midfielder was not in the club's matchday squad for Saturday's 2-1 away win against Chippa United.

Hours after clawing their way to victory, the club released a statement announcing Andries' death.

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.
