Fransman left TS Galaxy at the end of last season and has now put pen to paper at Cape Town Spurs for the 2021/22 season.
The now 37-year-old played 16 matches for Kaizer Chiefs between 2003-2006 and has also represented Moroka Swallows (53 matches), SuperSport United (37), Bloemfontein Celtic (45), Maritzburg United (54) and Highlands Park (36) – among others.
“Cape Town Spurs are excited to announce the signing of centre-back Bevan Fransman,” Spurs confirmed in a statement on their official website.
“The Premier Soccer League (PSL) veteran makes a return to the city in which he was born and the city in which he made his PSL debut as a teenager in 1999. Fransman, who featured for Spurs at youth level, played one game for Mother City FC in South Africa’s top-flight before his career took him to Belgium for a spell with Mouscron.

“He returned to Mzansi in 2003 for stints with Kaizer Chiefs and Soweto rivals Moroka Swallows, but again moved overseas in 2008 – this time to Israel where he donned the colours of Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
“By 2012, it was back to South Africa for the former Bafana Bafana international who joined SuperSport United. His time in the capital city was followed by spells with Bloemfontein Celtic, Maritzburg United, Highlands Park and most recently TS Galaxy.
“The towering defender made 21 appearances while scoring twice for Galaxy in the DStv Premiership last season. At 37, Fransman brings unrivalled experience to a youthful Urban Warriors team. His acquisition serves as a huge boost and underlines the club’s desire to challenge for the GladAfrica Championship title in the 2021/22 season. He is the club’s fourth signing of the current transfer window following the acquisition of Jarrod Moroole, Colin Ryan and Moisés Pedro Amor,” concluded the statement.
