Oupa Manyisa joins Chippa United
Chippa United has announced the signing of former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Oupa Manyisa for the remainder of the season.
Manyisa has been without a club after he parted ways with Tshakuma Tsha Madzivhandila.
The 32-year-old Mohlakeng-born player will be available for selection against Maritzburg United this weekend.
"The 32-year-old carries a decorated football career with 31 international caps for South Africa, while also winning three league championships," the club said in a statement.
"Manyisa is available for selection contention as the Chilli Boys resume the DStv Premiership campaign against Maritzburg United in Pietermaritzburg this Saturday."
The club believes Manyisa is an ideal replacement for injured captain Andile Mbenyane in the middle of the park.
"With captain Andile Mbenyane also still recovering from his groin injury, Oupa will provide the experience that this team needs alongside the likes of Anthony Laffor, Freddy Nsambiyumva, and Kurt Lentjies are able to provide.”
For his part, Manyisa said he is excited to be playing again,
“I will do my best to help the guys achieve the goal the chairman wants to achieve.
"I am pretty excited that it has been a long time without playing football, but I am gelling very well because most of the guys I played against them and played with some of them, so I am happy that they welcomed me with warm hands."
