Glody Lilepo completes move to Al Ahli Benghazi from Kaizer Chiefs on two-year deal

DR Congo international forward Glody Makabi Lilepo has completed his transfer from South African giants Kaizer Chiefs to Libyan club Al Ahli Benghazi on a two-year contract.

The move brings an end to Lilepo’s spell with the Soweto-based club after the two teams reached an agreement over the transfer of the talented attacker.

The Congolese forward will now continue his career in Libya as Al Ahli Benghazi strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Lilepo joined Kaizer Chiefs with a reputation as one of DR Congo’s promising attacking talents and went on to make a significant impact during his time at Naturena.

The winger contributed important goals for the Amakhosi and played a role in the club’s domestic and continental campaigns.

During his stint in South Africa, Lilepo showcased his pace, attacking movement and ability to operate across the frontline, making him a valuable option for Kaizer Chiefs.

He was also part of the squad that helped the club end a long wait for silverware by winning the Nedbank Cup.

The DR Congo international’s departure comes as Kaizer Chiefs continue reshaping their squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.

The club had received interest from other teams for the forward before Al Ahli Benghazi emerged as the successful destination.

For Al Ahli Benghazi, the signing represents a major addition to their attacking options as they look to compete strongly in Libyan football and on the continental stage.

Lilepo’s experience in South Africa’s top flight and international football is expected to add quality and depth to their squad.

The 28-year-old now begins a new chapter in Libya, with Al Ahli Benghazi hoping his goals and creativity can help drive their ambitions in the upcoming season.
