Nigeria keeper Nwabali calls time on PSL side Chippa United
Nigeria Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has called time on his stay at South African Premier League club Chippa United after four years.
Nwabali joined the PSL side from Katsina United in 2022 and rapidly rose to a leadership role. The 28-year-old shot-stopper became an integral part of the squad, eventually earning the captain’s armband.
His consistent performances in South Africa earned him a recall to the Super Eagles, where he seized the opportunity to become Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper, displacing the likes of Francis Uzoho and Maduka Okoye.
Consequently, Nwabali has been frequently linked with moves both within South Africa and abroad.
Over the last two years, clubs such as Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Hull City, and a few others have been credited with an interest. Despite various rumors, nothing concrete materialized, yet Nwabali remained professional and never forced a move.
However, news broke on Thursday that the goalkeeper has left Chippa United by mutual consent, bringing his four-year stint to an end.
