Stanley Nwabali has left Chippa United of South Africa after four years with the club.

The club announced the Super Eagles goalkeeper exit in statement on Thursday.

Chippa said Nwabali handed in the request to leave the club, despite the 29-year-old signing a three-year contract extension deal in 2024.

The club added that it “has agreed to grant his [Nwabali] release” and wished him success in the next chapter of his career.

“We would like to sincerely thank Stanley Nwabali for the years of service, commitment, and professionalism he has shown during his time at Chippa United Football Club. His contribution to the club will always be appreciated,” the club writes.

Chippa did not reveal if Nwabali has moved to another club or will be a free agent.

Nwabali, himself, remains silent on his next move.

However, there are reports that the goalkeeper has been linked with moves to other clubs in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) and also in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

Nwabali joined Chippa United from Katsina United in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) in 2022. He played over 70 games for the club and became the captain in 2024.

During his spell with Chippa, he became the Eagles number one goalkeeper following an impressive performance at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
