Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signing of a new foreign star striker as they aim to strengthen their attacking options.

Amakhosi have started the Betway Premiership season on a strong note, winning all their games so far, even in the absence of first-team coach Nasreddine Nabi, who is in Tunisia attending to a family emergency.

The Soweto giants have now added Etiosa Ighodaro to their squad. The 24-year-old joins Chiefs on a two-year deal, with an option to extend for an additional year.

“Kaizer Chiefs have acquired the services of another striker, Etiosa Ighodaro,” the club confirmed.

“We would like to welcome him to the Kaizer Chiefs family!”

Who is Ighodaro?

Ighodaro has spent the last five seasons in South Africa, having been signed by Mamelodi Sundowns from Abuja College in Nigeria.

Although he never made a first-team appearance for Sundowns, he impressed during loan spells at University of Pretoria, Chippa United, Supersport United, and Amazulu.

Amakhosi’s move signals their intent to build on last season’s Nedbank Cup success and challenge for honours in the 2025–26 season. The addition of Ighodaro strengthens their attacking options, with fans already excited about the potential impact of the new signing.
