Chiefs – ‘We are pleased to announce’

The 25 year-old is described by Chiefs as a versatile footballer who can also feature in midfield and attack. He will wear the number 74 jersey.

Shinga has signed for Chiefs from Portuguese side Alverca for a fee of 200 000 Euros (about R4 million) according to the website transfermarkt.com.

The Durban-born Shinga made 22 appearances for Alverca in all competitions last season as they finished as runners up in the Portuguese second tier to gain promotion to the Primeira Liga.

He has never played in the Premier Soccer League before, having moved to Portugal from the KZN Academy in 2018 to join Setubal’s Under-19 side.

More transfers incoming

His move is the first that Chiefs have officially announced, with the transfer window opening on Tuesday. Amakhosi are expected to reveal many more new signings, including midfielder Ethan Chislett and full backs Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane.

Nasreddine Nabi’s side are set to arrive in the Netherlands on Friday for a pre-season camp.
