In another twist, rising star Shandre Campbell from SuperSport United is on the verge of a potential move abroad. With Belgian giants Club Brugge expressing a keen interest. This publication understands that negotiations are underway. With SuperSport acknowledging the likelihood of Campbell’s departure during the upcoming transfer window.
Campbell’s rise through the ranks began under coach Gavin Hunt, who handed him his senior debut last season. Since then, the 18-year-old winger has showcased his talent in 30 appearances for Matsatsantsa. Which earned him a nomination for the Young Player of the Season award.
