Chapa will be competing for a starting place in the defensive midfield role alongside Donashano Malama, Samuel Sikaonga and Thabani Kamusoko.
The former Konkola Blades midfielder is delighted with his move to Zesco and is targeting winning titles during his stay in Ndola.
“This is a very organized club with a rich history. I feel that they have seen something in me which they want to use to add value to the team. I also want to ensure that I contribute to the clubs growth by winning titles,” Chapa said.
