The wait is almost over. Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Ethan Chislett, signed from Port Vale in England, has edged closer to starting his Betway Premiership career.
The 26-year-old is one of the Amakhosi’s standout signings after turning down interest from Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
Despite playing in attacking midfield, the new Kaizer Chiefs number 23 scored 40 goals in 242 games in English football.
KAIZER CHIEFS STAR CLEARED BUT…

Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach, Cedric Kaze, confirmed that midfielder Chisllet finally got his work permit. “Ethan is available for selection after his paper has been resolved,” Kaze told the media before facing Polokwane City on Wednesday.

However, Chislett surprisingly did not feature as Amakhosi won 1-0 over Rise and Shine.
HOW ASANELE VELEBAYI FITS IN
Kaizer Chiefs’ new winger finally arrived at Naturena. The Betway Premiership giants have announced Asanele Velebayi from Cape Town Spurs.
Kaizer Chiefs will soon introduce Velebayi on the field rather than the media. How does the former Cape Town Spurs superstar fit in?
To keep things simple, we’ve taken the same lineup that beat Polokwane City 1-0 in the Betway Premiership on Wednesday. The only change is that Velebayi will come in on the left wing for Gaston Sirino, who had a bad night.
The 22-year-old winger, who can play on either wing or the attacking midfield role, is likely to compete for minutes on the left wing.
- Brandon Petersen – Goalkeeper
- Thabiso Monyane – Right back
- Inacio Miguel – Right central defender

- Bradley Cross – Left back
- Sibongiseni Mthethwa – Defensive midfielder
- Thabo Cele – Central midfielder
- Mduduzi Shabalala – Attacking midfielder

- Asanele Velebayi – Left winger
