Sage Stephens (born 8 April 1991) is a South African soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Stellenbosch in the South African Premier Division.
Stephens played six years for Moroka Swallows, but mostly stayed on the bench. He then spent two years with AmaZulu, then in the National First Division. In 2017 he was acquired by Cape Town City, which was seen by the Times as a surprise, but Stephens won the spot as starting goalkeeper ahead of Shu-Aib Walters.[1]
With Cape Town City, Stephens finished second in the 2017 MTN 8. He gradually lost his place to Peter Leeuwenburgh, and was released in September 2020. Stephens was promptly signed by Stellenbosch.[2] [3]
Stephens helped Stellenbosch win the 2023 Carling Knockout Cup.[4] Signing a new contract in 2024, at the time he was the most-capped goalkeeper in Stellenbosch F.C.'s history.[5] By January 2024, half of the games he had played in the 2023–24 South African Premier Division were clean sheets.[6]
