Stormers Secure Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu on Long-Term Deal Through 2029

The Springbok fly-half chose Cape Town over lucrative overseas offers following a collective effort with third‑party support to anchor the franchise’s long‑range plan.

Overview

  • The contract extension, confirmed in December, keeps the 23-year-old in Cape Town until at least July 2029 after his previous deal ran to 2027.
  • The Stormers unveiled the signing at halftime before 28,000 fans during the URC clash against the Lions at Cape Town Stadium.
  • Director of rugby John Dobson said retaining Feinberg-Mngomezulu required external assistance and a price compromise from the player to counter overseas bids.
  • Feinberg-Mngomezulu said his decision reflects belief in the team, the city and the Project 2029 vision to build and retain homegrown talent.
  • The extension forms part of a wider retention drive that has kept Damian Willemse and Evan Roos, added Ntuthuko Mchunu, and prompted talks to make Dylan Maart’s stay permanent.
