Springboks fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has committed his long-term future to the Stormers after inking a new deal that will keep him in Cape Town until at least July 2029.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a special 12 months for both club and country as he was one of the standout players for South Africa in another superb season of Test rugby.<\/p>\n
While his future in a Green and Gold shirt looked long and prosperous, there were obviously plenty of clubs other than the Stormers<\/a> trying to lock down the star\u2019s services.<\/p>\n Staying with Stormers<\/p>\n Crucially for the Stormers, they have won that race, and yesterday\u2019s announcement that they had signed Feinberg-Mngomezulu<\/a> to a contract extension is a significant fillip.<\/p>\n Since making his senior Stormers bow aged 19 in a United Rugby Championship<\/a> (URC) quarter-final in 2022, Feinberg-Mngomezulu\u2019s rise has been rapid and relentless.<\/p>\n He made his Springbok<\/a> debut in 2024 and was nominated for World Rugby Men\u2019s 15s Breakthrough Player of the Year. He went on to win SA Rugby\u2019s Young Player of 2024.<\/p>\n In 2025, the exciting Feinberg-Mngomezulu was named South Africa\u2019s URC Player of the Season and recognised by his peers as MyPlayers\u2019 2025 Players\u2019 Player of the Year.<\/p>\n Stormers v Lions: Five takeaways as it\u2019s a \u2018good day\u2019 for hosts as Springboks star signs new deal and rookie shines again<\/a><\/p>\n Stormers player ratings: A \u2018creative void\u2019 without Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu but \u2018Springbok-in-waiting\u2019 and Bomb Squad get the job done<\/a><\/p>\n Stormers director of rugby John Dobson said the extension is a defining moment for the long-term plan in the Cape and admitted there were other teams keen to sign him.<\/p>\n \u201cSacha is a player teams around the world want \u2014 that\u2019s the reality of modern rugby \u2014 and we\u2019re incredibly proud that he has chosen to commit his prime years to this jersey,\u201d Dobson said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is exactly what Project 2029 is about: identifying talent early, developing it properly, and building a squad where our best players want to stay, lead and win together.<\/p>\n \u201cSacha\u2019s journey through our system has been outstanding, and he\u2019s still only scratching the surface.
