Aphelele Teto (born 13 June 2003) is a South African professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chippa United, on loan from Livingston. [1]
Teto started his career as a youth player at TS Galaxy. He signed a professional contract with the club in 2022 and made 12 appearances for the first team, nine of them starts, as they finished 10th in the Premier Soccer League. [2]
He signed for Livingston in August 2023 on a four-year deal, despite him having failed to receive a work permit. [3] Manager David Martindale clarified in September that part of the transfer agreement was that TS Galaxy would continue to pay Teto's wages until he gained a work permit to play for Livingston, and the club would attempt to loan Teto to a club in Africa (specifically Egypt, Tunisia or South Africa). [4] [5] Talks took place with Supersport United but ultimately broke down and the player remained in Scotland, playing for Livingston's reserve team. [6] Martindale stated that he expected Teto to be awarded a governing body endorsement, which would allow him to gain a UK work permit, once he was called up to the South Africa U-23 squad - this despite them having not played since March 2023 and having no scheduled fixtures after failing to qualify for the 2023 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations or 2024 Olympics. [7] [8]
On 31 December 2023 Livingston announced the signing of Tete Yengi and allocated him the number 17 shirt which had previously been given to Teto for the season, although this was later retracted and Yengi given the 33 shirt. [9]
Martindale provided an update on 22 January 2024, confirming that Teto remained unable to feature for Livingston and had left the UK following the expiration of a tourist visa. It was also stated that the club was still trying to secure a loan move within Europe for the player. [10]
In July 2024, Teto signed for Chippa United on loan. [11]
The midfielder was called up to the South African U-23 squad in September 2022 but did not appear for the team. [12] He was not selected for the next squad in March 2023. [13]
