Double-digits striker set to arrive at PSL club

A newly signed striker is scheduled to arrive at Chippa United on Wednesday to prepare for what will be his first season in the elite division as the club aims to better last season’s scoring returns.

As previously revealed by KickOff, Chippa have acted promptly to secure the services of Ntuthuko Mlotshwa, notwithstanding the existence of a transfer ban imposed on the club by FIFA.

The 24-year-old’s registration for next term will depend on the club settling the over R200,000 debt owed to their former coach, Luc Eymael.

Mlotshwa netted 13 goals in 2025/26 while on the books of Lerumo Lions in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, finishing the campaign as joint-top scorer. Furthermore, he had five assists from his 26 appearances.

This acquisition marks the culmination of a transfer pursuit by the Gqeberha-based outfit that began in January.

This season will represent a significant milestone in Mlotshwa's career, as he has consistently finished as the top goalscorer in every league he has participated in over the past two seasons, including in the Mpumalanga ABC Motsepe League while turning out for Middelburg United.
