Baloni, 24, joined Pirates last season from Motsepe Foundation Championship side All Stars FC after a standout performance in the 2022/23 campaign. During his debut season with the Buccaneers, Baloni secured two trophies — the MTN8 and the Nedbank Cup as he made 13 appearances across all competitions.

On Monday, Baloni was unveiled at Chippa’s kit launch event, which also featured the introduction of Michael, also known as Gadiel Kamagi, who joins from Cape Town Spurs.

“Chippa United FC is thrilled to announce the official launch of our brand-new kit for the 2024/2025 season, designed to embody the passion, pride, and resilience of our beloved club.

“This momentous occasion also saw the introduction of our latest signings who are set to strengthen the squad and bring fresh energy to the team,” read a statement from the Chilli Boys on their official X account.

Among the talented new players unveiled at the press event were: Siphelo Baloni – A versatile midfielder ready to make an impact and Gabriel Michael – a promising left-back from Tanzania bringing international experience.”

Chippa United also reaffirmed their ongoing partnership with the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, despite earlier plans to host more games at Buffalo City Stadium.

“The esteemed Executive Mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality addressed the media, reiterating their continued support for Chippa United FC. Their presence underscores the importance of local collaboration as we aim for success both on and off the field,” the club added.
