Durban, South Africa – Durban City FC is delighted to announce the permanent signing of midfielder Kyle Jurgens from Stellenbosch FC, with the 22-year-old committing his future to the Club on a five-year contract.
Jurgens initially arrived at Durban City on loan ahead of the 2025/26 season and quickly settled into the squad, establishing himself as a key figure in midfield. His consistency, intelligence, and control in the centre of the pitch made him one of the standout performers in the Club’s historic campaign.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, Jurgens expressed his excitement at making the move permanent: “I am delighted to make my move to Durban City FC permanent.
‘Last season was an incredible experience, and I am grateful for the trust shown in me by the Club, the technical team and my teammates. We achieved something special together, but I believe there is still much more to come. Durban City is a club with ambition, and I am excited to continue this journey and contribute to the success we want to achieve in the years ahead.”
Durban City FC Chairman Farook Kadodia praised the midfielder’s impact and importance to the project:
