Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signing of attacking midfielder Ethan Chislett as a third signing for the club in this transfer window.
His unveiling follows the announcements of two players Flávio Silva and Nkanyiso Shinga who were announced earlier on the same day.
The 26-year-old midfielder, whose youth career included stints at Guildford Saints, Southampton FC, Aldershot Town, and England youth setups, made his professional breakthrough with AFC Wimbledon in 2020.
Over the past five seasons, he's accumulated a wealth of experience, racking up over 200 appearances in the English Football League (EFL). During this impressive period, he demonstrated his attacking prowess by netting 42 goals and providing 16 assists.
Despite attracting interest from the Scottish Premier League and the English Championship, Chislett opted for a move to South Africa, driven by the desire to boost his prospects of breaking into the Bafana Bafana senior national team.
