Stellenbosch FC and Amajita defender Tylon Smith has complete his move to Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
As reported by iDiski Times earlier this month, the two clubs reached an agreement for his transfer for one of the most sought-after youngsters in the country.
Despite not making his official debut for Stellenbosch, his performances as South Africa U20 won the Africa Cup of Nations, earned him the Player of the Tournament and plenty of admirers.
Smith penned a four-year deal with the Championship side after passing his medical and was unveiled on Wednesday, becoming the first player to move from the PSL to England since Kagiso Dikgacoi when Fulham lured him from Golden Arrows back in 2009.
“We are happy to beat significant competition to land the services of Tylon today,” said QPR CEO Christian Nourry.
“His raw attributes give him every opportunity to become a successful central defender and we are excited that the player feels, as we do, that we are best placed to develop and extract that potential from him.
“We will take it step by step.”
