Kaizer Chiefs new midfielder Ethan Chislett, is eager to play in front of the Amakhosi supporters later this month.
The 26-year-old is currently with the team in the Netherlands for their pre-season camp. Having joined the club in June, the Durban-born midfielder will for the first time in his career, play football in his birth country.
“I appreciate creativity, but the bottom line is you have to score goals to win games,” Chislett said as per FARPost.
“I’d like to think I can rise to the occasion when called upon to make a decisive contribution for my team, and that’s what motivates me.”

Chislett will be in action in Amakhosi for the first time at home later this month against Asante Kotoko SC in the Toyota Cup. The 26-year-old will play in front of his hometown at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, 26 July.
“It will probably be surreal. It’s something I’ll look back on. Sometimes when you’re in the moment, you don’t take everything in, but afterwards it will fully sink in,” said the Kaizer Chiefs new man.
“I came to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup and watched a match in that stadium, so it’s going to be unreal for me, and my family, to play there.”
Upon signing for Kaizer Chiefs, Chislett was described as a ‘Steven Gerrard-like’ type of midfielder. He is a creative player with an eye for goal and can also help defensively, according to his former teammates in England.
Will Chislett find the PSL tough or will he be up for the challenge?
