Chippa United have announced the signing of Orlando Pirates winger Azola Matrose.
Matrose joined Pirates at the beginning of the 2022/23 season after impressing during his breakout season with the Chippa in 2021/22. But he was initially loaned back to Chippa in the first season, as he was still finishing school.
He returned to Pirates in the last campaign, but was troubled by an injury that kept him out of the team for a long time and only featured for the Buccaneers’ DDC team.
On Thursday, the Chilli Boys confirmed his return to Gqeberha on a permanent transfer, as they continue to focus on local talent, as reported by iDiski Tmes.
“Chippa United FC is thrilled to announce the return of Azola Matrose, who has signed a three-year contract with a two-year option,” club chairman Chippa Mpengesi stated.
“We are excited to have him back after his transfer to Orlando Pirates FC. We would like to thank Orlando Pirates FC for the smooth and healthy business relationship during this transfer.
“Azola’s return marks an important moment for our club as he will play big role in the upcoming 2024/25 Betway premiership season.”
