Langelihle Phili, the 21-year-old South African left winger, has joined Kaizer Chiefs from Stellenbosch FC in a move between two Betway Premiership clubs.
Phili arrives at Chiefs after spending the previous part of his career with Stellenbosch, although the available record does not include senior appearance, goal or assist figures for his time at the club. His move was completed on 3 August 2026, with no transfer fee disclosed.
The Tshelimnyama-born player is listed as a left winger and stands at 1.69m. He moves to a Kaizer Chiefs side competing in the 2026-27 Betway Premiership campaign, having yet to make an appearance in the season’s recorded match data.
Phili’s arrival also brings international youth honours to the Chiefs squad. He was part of the South Africa Under-20 team that won the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations in 2025, earning the continental title at youth level before making the switch to one of the country’s best-known clubs.
He joins Kaizer Chiefs with a listed market value of €750,000, the highest value recorded for him. That figure places the move in the context of a young player changing clubs within South Africa’s top-flight competition, while his role remains focused on the left side of attack.
The transfer keeps Phili in the Betway Premiership but changes his club environment from Stellenbosch to Kaizer Chiefs. It also gives the Johannesburg club a new option in the wide attacking positions as the 2026-27 season begins.
Phili’s international background is limited to his South Africa Under-20 involvement recorded in the player’s honours, with the 2025 continental success the standout achievement of his career so far. He now continues his club career at senior level with Chiefs.
The completed transfer from Stellenbosch FC to Kaizer Chiefs took place on 3 August 2026.
