This new Kaizer Chiefs attacker has never played in Mzansi but was born in Durban 26 years ago before establishing his entire professional career in England.
Chislett made a name for himself with standout performances at clubs like AFC Wimbledon and Port Vale, where he became known for his goal contributions and playmaking ability.
Now back in South Africa after joining Kaizer Chiefs on a two-year deal, the versatile Chislett has revealed his favoured playing position.

“I like to cut in from the left onto my right foot, but if I had to define my best position, it would be a ‘number 10’.
“I appreciate creativity, but the bottom line is you have to score goals to win games. I’d like to think I can rise to the occasion when called upon to make a decisive contribution for my team, and that’s what motivates me.

“It will probably be surreal. It’s something I’ll look back on. Sometimes when you’re in the moment you don’t take everything in but afterwards it will fully sink in,” added the new Glamour Boy.
“I came to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup and watched a match in that stadium, so it’s going to be unreal for me, and my family, to play there,” Chilett concluded.
