Shabba said he is excited about the move to Turkey.
Talking to Chiefs website excited Shabba said: “I always wanted to play overseas, in particular in Europe and I have never been shy to talk about that. It should have happened a long time ago, but I think that it’s God’s time. I am grateful that God is giving me this huge opportunity to showcase my talent in Europe.”

The midfielder joined Chiefs in January 2007 from Free State Stars.
