Career

Chibwe was one of the Zambians who came to RoPS in 2007.[1] He came along with Nchimunya Mweetwa, Chanda Mwaba, Stephen Kunda and Zeddy Saileti's younger brother Derik Saileti for a trial. The quintet consisting of (Mweetwa, Kunda, Chibwe, Mwaba) were awarded contracts with RoPS following a successful trial. Chibwe later extended it to 2012. In the 2007/08 season, Chibwe played 23 games and scored four times in the Finnish second division, Ykkönen, at the end of which RoPS won promotion to the Veikkausliiga (Finnish Premier Division).

Chibwe finished as RoPS's top goalscorer along with Saileti and Titi Essomba in the 2008/09 Veikkausliiga, scoring five goals and providing three assists. He was one of the most important players during the season which saw RoPS finish 10th in the league.[2] In autumn of 2008 he had some injury concerns, but he soon after recovered and played 24 times, scoring two goals and providing two assists in 2009. The following season, Chibwe scored nine goals and provided one assist, before succumbing to a knee injury requiring surgery, effectively ending his season.[3]

Chibwe and eight other RoPS players got sacked in the spring of 2011 due to a match fixing scandal.[4]

gollark: Weird. In my experience SSH either just doesn't work at all because I broke it somehow, denies me access for some reason, or works fine.
gollark: And the hinge rotates 180 degrees, but the panel is a 1366x768 TN one with awful viewing angles.
gollark: The designers of this made some very strange design choices, I must say. It came with soldered RAM, but also a SODIMM slot.
gollark: My laptop's a cheap refurbished business-y one which I upgraded with a SSD and more RAM, and it works *okay*.
gollark: And you can install Linux on it without (as much) hassle.
