Chippa United have confirmed the departure of Nigerian international goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who has been released from the club following a mutual agreement.
The 25-year-old shot-stopper, who impressed for the Super Eagles and became one of the standout performers in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), leaves the Eastern Cape side after a consistent run of commanding displays.
Nwabali’s exit is expected to spark immediate interest from Kaizer Chiefs, who have tracked him closely over the past two seasons. Amakhosi have been in the market for a reliable No 1 after inconsistent performances from their current goalkeeping department, and Nwabali’s availability could provide the solution they have been seeking.
Chiefs were previously linked with the Nigerian during the 2024/25 campaign, but Chippa managed to hold onto him at the time.
Chippa United expressed gratitude for his contribution, noting his professionalism and impact during his spell at the club.
“Stanley has been an important part of our journey, and we wish him the very best in his next chapter,” the club said in a statement.
