Kaizer Chiefs have officially confirmed the signing of Ethan Chislett, a dynamic attacking midfielder with a flair for creativity and an eye for goal. The 26-year-old becomes the club’s latest addition as Amakhosi continue to reshape their squad ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.
Born in Durban and developed in the English football system, Chislett brings a unique blend of technical skill, international experience, and South African heritage to Naturena. Chiefs unveiled the signing on Monday with a warm welcome to the new recruit:

Chislett rose through the ranks in England with spells at AFC Wimbledon and Port Vale, where he earned praise for his goal contributions and ability to find space in tight areas. Known for his intelligent movement and sharp decision-making, he is expected to play a key role in unlocking defences and linking play in the final third.
Reports suggest the midfielder turned down offers from other South African giants and European clubs to join Kaizer Chiefs, demonstrating his belief in the club’s project and his ambition to make an impact in the Premier Soccer League.
Chislett’s arrival is not just a boost to the club’s creative depth but also a symbolic return to his roots. Having been born in South Africa and inspired by his grandfather’s legacy in Bafana Bafana, he’s also said to be eyeing a call-up to the national team—a dream that could gain momentum with standout performances in the gold and black.
