Chaine currently sits atop the league’s clean sheet charts, boasting a staggering 12 clean sheets in just 16 league appearances.
Defensive Dominance Across All Competitions
Chaine’s impact extends far beyond league play. Across all competitions, he has been nearly unbeatable, recording a phenomenal 19 clean sheets in 26 games.
His defensive record is further highlighted by his efficiency in goal:
- Total Games: 26

Impact on the Team
Chaine’s form has been crucial to Pirates’ aspirations this season, providing stability at the back and giving the team confidence to attack. His ability to command the penalty area and make crucial saves in high-pressure moments has set him apart from his peers.
