Nigerian international goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali leaves Betway Premiership side Chippa United in a shock move after submitting transfer request

Stanley Nwabal’s departure from Chippa United has left many in the local football fraternity shocked.

Nwabali’s has been a vital cog for the Eastern Cape-based Betway Premiership side and the move away for the Chilli Boys was expected to be a big money one not the transfer request he made.

In the past, potential moves to PSL sides such as Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates have been mentioned but nothing came out of those.

“Chippa United Football Club confirms that Stanley Nwabali has formally submitted a request to depart club. After careful consideration, the club has agreed to grant his release,” the club statement read.

“We would like to sincerely thank Stanley Nwabali for the years of service, commitment, and professionalism he has shown during his time at Chippa United Football Club.
