Former Orlando Pirates and Chippa United defender Justice Chabalala has completed a move to Motsepe Foundation Championship side Upington City, securing a new opportunity as he continues his professional football career.
The experienced South African defender has reportedly finalised an agreement with the Northern Cape-based club and has already started working with his new teammates ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Chabalala confirmed the development in an interview with Soccer Laduma, although he explained that the official announcement would be left to the club.
“I’ve signed and already started work, but I’ll leave it to the club to make it official,” Chabalala told Soccer Laduma.
The move represents another chapter in Chabalala's career, having previously featured for some recognised teams in South African football, including Orlando Pirates and Chippa United.
During his time at Pirates, the defender gained valuable experience competing at the highest level of domestic football. His experience with the Buccaneers and subsequent involvement with other clubs could prove useful as he settles into his new environment.
Upington City will be hoping to benefit from his experience, particularly in strengthening their defensive department as they prepare for the challenges of the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
For Chabalala, joining the club offers an opportunity to secure regular playing time, maintain his competitive level and contribute to his new team's ambitions.
Although Upington City have yet to make the signing official, the player's confirmation indicates that the agreement has already been completed.
Supporters will now be waiting for the club to formally unveil the former Pirates defender and provide further details about his arrival.
