Having spent his formative years in the Ubuntu Football Academy, Jurgens joined the development structures of Stellenbosch in 2021 and helped the club's reserve team win the DStv Diski Challenge and Premier League Next Gen Cup later that season. He was promoted to the first team in 2023 and has since made nearly forty senior appearances for Stellenbosch, forming part of the squads that won the 2023 Carling Knockout Cup and ended as runners-up in the 2024 MTN 8 final.

Club career

Stellenbosch FC

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Jurgens started his footballing career with the Ubuntu Football Academy where he received his early training and education. [2] His performances at youth level with Ubuntu earned him a move to Betway Premiership side Stellenbosch FC in 2021 where he played a starring role in the club's reserve team winning the DStv Diski Challenge and Premier League Next Gen Cup titles in the 2021–22 season. [3] He was subsequently called up to the first team where he made his debut as a substitute for Deano van Rooyen in a 3–0 Nedbank Cup Round of 16 win over Moroka Swallows. [4]

The following season, he was permanently promoted to the first team, whilst still eligible for the reserves, and signed his first professional contract in December 2023. [3] [5] Shortly thereafter, Stellenbosch defeated TS Galaxy to win the inaugural edition of the Carling Knockout Cup while Jurgens also added another DStv Diski Challenge medal to his name for his role in helping the reserve team reclaim their title with a league-record 69 points.
