I don’t have new club – Nwabali

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has revealed he does not have a new club yet after he mutually terminated his contract with South African side Chippa United, Sports Extra reports.

“To be honest with you, I don’t have a club or a contract in front,” he told SABC Metrofm.

“It’s an agreement that both parties will feel at peace, we wish each other well and I can look forward to my career. I’ve been at this club for four years, and it’s really nice working here, but we all really need to move forward as players or managers.

“Football deals with happiness, my happiness comes first.”

Nwabali has lost his place as Chippa United’s first-choice goalkeeper to Dumisani Msibi on his return from the 2025 AFCON.

Msibi has posted four clean sheets in as many league matches.

However, the Super Eagles shot-stopper said that is not what forced him out of the club with six months left on his contract.

“No, it’s not like that. Before I went for AFCON, I was injured, let me say, from the Pirates game and I was trying to fix myself for coming back strong for the team and also go to AFCON,” he explained.

“So coming back from AFCON, it’s an understanding between the chairman and me – you’re coming back from a bigger tournament and have been playing for one month, ok, you really need to rest for like one or two games.

“That was before the decision was made, and ever since I arrived at this club, we have been talking like father and son, understanding literally every day.

“So, as I said, when I talked to him, yes, it was difficult to take that kind of decision, but he feels like it’s probably going to be best for me, which, as I said, I made this decision by myself.”

Multiple reports suggest the 28-year-old goalkeeper is expected to join Moroccan top-flight side Raja Club Athletic.
