ILL-FATED KAIZER CHIEFS CAREER

He completed a move to Saudi First Division side Al-Adalah following two seasons with Kaizer Chiefs, where he found the net nine times in 45 appearances across all competitions.

The former Marumo Gallants forward was also part of Nasreddine Nabi’s Amakhosi squad that ended the club’s long wait for silverware by lifting the 2024/25 Nedbank Cup.

Based in Al-Hulaylah in the Al-Ahsa region. Al-Adalah have become known for regularly moving between the Saudi Pro League and the second tier.

Established in 1984, the club hosts its matches at the 26,000-capacity Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium. The club earned a reputation for blending emerging local players with experienced foreign recruits such as Chivaviro.
