“I don’t know anything about me joining Chiefs, Pirates, and Sundowns. It’s just rumours. People put their own stuff in articles. I’ve never heard anything from all these teams. I will remain a Stellenbosch player for the new season,” Rayners told SowetanLIVE.

The 27-year-old striker says he will spend his money wisely and invest in property after bagging a cool R150 000 cheque for his efforts in the Ke Yona competition.
Rayners revealed that he has already bought two properties in Cape Town and Gauteng while he looks to remain a top finisher for the Cape Winelands-based Stellies.
“I already have two properties, one in Joburg and one in Cape Town…I will save up this money towards buying another property,” Rayners added.

“It was a nice feeling for me to win that award. I am very proud of myself and I am thankful to my teammates because without them I wouldn’t have won it.”
After joining SuperSport United in July 2020 and struggling to hit the ground running, Rayners returned to Stellenbosch in January and netted an impressive 15 goals from 14 matches in all competitions.
Based on his goalscoring prowess, there is no doubt that rumours surfaced that the likes of Sundowns, Pirates, and Chiefs were reportedly keen to land his signature.
