Nigeria Super Eagles number one goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has left South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) side Chippa United by mutual termination, www.aclsports.com reports.
Nwabali, 29, had a wonderful tournament with the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the last AFCON and has been in the news for a possible exit from the club that sits in the relegation zone of the South African top division.
Having failed to leave the Chilli Boys last summer, the club has now released a statement that Nwabali’s request for a transfer has been granted.
”Chippa United Football Club confirms that Stanley Nwabali has formally submitted a request to depart the club. After careful consideration, the club has agreed to grant his release,” the club said in a statement on Thursday.
The statement went on to further thank Nwabali for his years of service, commitment, and professionalism shown at the club during his time there.
Nwabali, formerly of Enyimba in the Nigeria Premier Football League, moved to South Africa in 2022, where he went on to make over 75 appearances for his club, keeping 25 clean sheets. He is now expected to join a new club as a free agent in the coming days.
