Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has announced that his four-year stint in the PSL with Chippa United has come to an end, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 29-year-old joined the Chilli Boys from Katsina United in 2022, and the decision paid off two years later as he made his official debut for Nigeria.
Nwabali was thrown into the mix at the AFCON 2023 tournament in Ivory Coast and became the solution to the Super Eagles’ long-standing goalkeeping problems since Vincent Enyeama retired from the national team.
