Kaizer Chiefs fans finally have something to cheer about as their new midfielder, Ethan Chislett, is ready to step onto the pitch for the first time in the Betway Premiership.
The 26-year-old, who recently joined from Port Vale in England, has been eagerly awaiting clearance to play, and now the wait is over.
Turning Down Big Local Clubs
Chislett’s arrival at Amakhosi has created quite a buzz, especially since he reportedly turned down offers from Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates to join Chiefs.
Known for his attacking midfield flair, the new number 23 brings a solid scoring record from his time in English football, with 40 goals in 242 appearances.
Work Permit Finally Approved
Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze confirmed that Chislett’s work permit issues have been resolved.
“Ethan is available for selection after his paper has been resolved,” Kaze said during a pre-match press conference.
This means the midfielder can finally take part in tonight’s match against Polokwane City at the FNB Stadium, having missed the season opener against Stellenbosch FC.
Chiefs’ New Signings Ready for Action
Chislett isn’t the only new face. Flavio Silva and Nkanyisa Shinga have also joined the squad, adding more depth to the team.
Fans are already spotting jersey numbers and getting excited to see how these new signings will perform on the field.
Fans Eager for Chislett’s Impact
With his experience and goal-scoring record, supporters are curious to see how Chislett will fit into Kaizer Chiefs’ strategy this season.
The club is encouraging fans to share their expectations via comments or WhatsApp, making it easy for the community to stay engaged.
