The 24-year-old, who joined South Africa’s football scene in July 2021, has featured for multiple PSL clubs, recording 25 goals in 97 appearances. He played the 2023/24 season on loan at AmaZulu FC.

Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr. described the move as part of the club’s ongoing recruitment strategy.

“We warmly welcome Etiosa into the Kaizer Chiefs family. We’re excited that he has joined our journey,” Motaung Jr. said in a statement on Monday.

“His passion, work rate and dedication will surely add to the team this season and beyond. We look forward to creating unforgettable moments together in the Gold & Black colours of the Glamour Boys. Here’s to new beginnings and the spirit of Amakhosi.”

The club also confirmed that Ighodaro will wear the number 50 jersey for the new campaign.
