Nigeria international goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has extended his contract at Betway Premiership side Chippa United for a further three years.
Nwabali has been linked with a move away from Chippa following his impressive performances at the AFCON tournament in Ivory Coast.
Teams in the Middle East, including Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, were reportedly keen on the 28-year-old shot-stopper. He has been part of Chippa since 2022, when he joined from Katsina United in Nigeria.
But the Chilli Boys announced on Thursday that they had tied down Nwabali.
