Where he shines: Chiefs star Chislett identifies his top positions 

Published on by

Having recently made the move back to South Africa from Port Vale, Kaizer Chiefs star Ethan Chislett has identified his preferred positions on the field.

The clarity will be crucial for Nasreddine Nabi as the Durban-born star integrates into the Amakhosi squad and looks to make an immediate impact.

Chislett has disclosed that he's comfortable operating in more than one role on the pitch. This is expected to be a considerable asset to Nabi, providing him with greater flexibility in team formations and game plans.

CHISLETT REVEALS MORE THAN ONE ROLE HE’S ABLE TO PLAY

“Versatile midfielder, can sit deep, play further forward and wide right, even striker a few times, although more in a ‘false 9’ role,” he said.

“I like to cut in from the left onto my right foot, but if I had to define my best position, it would be a ‘number 10’.

“I appreciate creativity, but the bottom line is you have to score goals to win games. I’d like to think I can rise to the occasion when called upon to make a decisive contribution for my team, and that’s what motivates me.”

He added, “Joining a new Club is never the easiest thing in the world. You have to adapt,” he added.

“But since I joined, everyone has been amazing, and I am so happy here. This is why I love South Africa; everyone smiles. I’d like to say I am fitting in really well. It’s a credit to my new teammates and the management staff for welcoming me so warmly.

“It’s a really exciting time for me and I am looking to attack these challenges head-on.”
