Stormers stand-in captain Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has offered a glowing early endorsement of Markus Muller after the schoolboy sensation trained with the senior squad for the first time this week.

Muller, who has just completed his matric exams at the end of last year, is already turning heads at the Stormers, and according to Feinberg-Mngomezulu, it’s his technical maturity that stands out most.

“He’s good,” Feinberg-Mngomezulu said.

“I remember coming up and learning how to play at 12, things like sliding on defence and reading and not over-reading plays, he’s already nailed down some of that stuff.

“I was so surprised in the week and I told him ‘Good work’. You don’t expect someone coming out of school to have that sort of technical maturity. Really impressive.”

The powerful Paarl Gym midfielder is part of a new crop of schoolboy talent already secured by the Stormers for 2026 and beyond, with an eye on being part of the club’s drive to win both the Champions Cup and URC by 2029.
