Azola Matrose (born 27 March 2003) is a South African soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Chippa United in the Premier Soccer League.
He was born in Walmer.[1] Matrose was signed by Chippa United as the autumn of 2021 approached,[2] and made his first-tier debut in the 2021–22 South African Premier Division.[3] He performed as well as to be called up to South Africa's squad for the 2022 COSAFA Cup,[4] where he made his international debut against Madagascar.[5]
He was signed by Orlando Pirates in 2022, but spent 2022–23 back on loan with Chippa United. One of the reasons was to complete Grade 11 of school.[6]
Matrose missed the closer of the 2022–23 season, and as the 2023–24 season approached, he still had an injured fibula.[7] He was given match training for the reserve team in the Diski Challenge in early 2024.[8][9][10] In August 2024, Matrose finally rejoined Chippa United permanently, signing a three-year deal.[11]
