“A strong and composed presence in central midfield, he brings valuable experience from playing in South Africa, Côte d’Ivoire, Sweden and the United States.”
The Eastern Cape club also highlighted Bancé’s work rate and physicality as qualities they expect to benefit the team.

Bancé now begins the next chapter of his career with Chippa, who will hope his experience can help strengthen a midfield unit competing in South Africa’s top flight.
His arrival also represents another opportunity for the Burkina Faso international to establish himself in the Premier Soccer League after his spell with Gallants.
