The news is spreading fast — Ethan Chislett is set to become a Kaizer Chiefs player ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.
A Two-Year Deal Incoming
According to trusted journalist Mthokozisi Dube of FARPost, the 26-year-old attacking midfielder is putting pen to paper on a two-year contract with Amakhosi. Chislett turned down a contract renewal at English League One side Port Vale FC, choosing a fresh start in South Africa instead.
Durban-Born Playmaker Brings Goals
Chislett is no stranger to the net — the creative midfielder has racked up an impressive 40 career goals in English football, and Chiefs fans have reason to be excited. He’s spent the last seven years building his name across clubs like Aldershot Town, AFC Wimbledon, and Port Vale.
