23-year-old Orlando Pirates midfielder Azola Tshobeni has completed a permanent move to Chippa United.

The talented midfielder burst onto the scene back in 2020 after graduating from the club’s academy.

After a string of strong performances, much was expected from the silky smooth midfielder.

However, competition for places meant Orlando Pirates opted to loan their rising star out in 2021.

Tshobeni would spend the next three seasons out on loan and now, his permanent exit has been confirmed.

He leaves Orlando Pirates having made 11 first team appearances for the club, as per Transfermarkt.

The player’s representative P Management Sports confirmed his move to Chippa United on Tuesday evening.
