So I’m really, really happy and excited to be here,” he told the club’s media. “I believe in every life, in football, there is always a new chapter. So I decided to carry on in a new chapter, and in a new environment for me.”
Chaiwa now becomes the second Zambian to feature in the Scottish Premiership, following Fashion Sakala’s successful stint with Rangers FC.
