WATCH: DStv Premiership side unveil former Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates midfielder Andile Jali

Jali was last in the books of the now-defunct Moroka Swallows where he made a dozen appearances for The Dube Birds after a bitter-sweet exit from DStv Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

Swallows recently sold their top-flight status to Marumo Gallants, who already have the ball in motion as they are expected to install Dylan Kerr in Gallants’ dugout as head coach.

Jali, meanwhile, put pen to paper on a one-year deal with an option to extend his stay with the Chilli Boys.

As one of the most decorated and experienced, Jali said he would be satisfied if he were to pay now fewer than 18 games in the entire season.

The former Bucs and Downs star goes to Chippa with seven DStv Premiership titles and six domestic trophies including the Nedbank Cup and MTN8.
