THE BIGGER PICTURE
Since joining Chippa, Jali has been a key player for the club, featuring in 11 games for them and scoring two goals.
He is counted as one of the Chilli Boys' experienced players together with the likes of goalkeeper and captain Stanley Nwabali as well as the ex-Orlando Pirates trio of Justice Chabalala, Craig Martin and Bienvenu Eva Nga.
However, the Chilli Boys appear to be struggling to tap into that experience and are 12th on the Premier Soccer League table.
