The 31-year-old returns to Asia, the continent seems to be his favorite arena, as he previously played for the Iranian side Erbil SC on a short spell.
The versatile and speedy forward has made over 43 appearances for Chiefs, where he spent three years of his career with the Glamour Boys.
During his tenure at Pirates, Twala failed to impress the Buccaneers, as he went on multiple loans at Chippa United and Golden Arrows, and that is where Chiefs acquired his services.
Twala had a decent campaign for the Amakhosi, he scored two goals and secured one assist in 16 matches he featured for.
In the latter half of two season with Kaizer Chiefs, Twala was loaned to Maritzburg United.
Following his move to Maritzburg, Twala struggled for game-time, he was then transferred to other clubs in the PSL, but could not feature for most matches, until he went abroad to join Erbil SC.
Upon his return to the country earlier this year in march, Twala signed for Pretoria Callies, a GladAfrica Championship side.
