Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has completed a return to South African side Chippa United ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The 30-year-old rejoins the Chilli Boys after spending the last seven months away from competitive football, a spell that affected his international career and saw him lose his place in Nigeria’s senior national team.

Chippa United announced the goalkeeper’s return on Sunday through its official social media channels, expressing delight at welcoming him back to the Eastern Cape.

The club wrote: “Chippa United Football Club is delighted to welcome @nwabali32 back to the Chilli Boys.”

In a follow-up statement, the club added: “After taking time away, Stanley Nwabali returns to the Eastern Cape, and we are pleased to welcome him back to the club.”
