South African soccer player
Ronaldo Maarman (born 29 November 1999) is a South African soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Chippa United in the South African Premier Division.
Maarman came through the academy of Chippa United and played in the Diski Challenge Shield.[1][2] While waiting to make his first-team debut, in 2020–2021 he was loaned out to First Division club Cape Town All Stars. After showing his potential there, he was signed by Orlando Pirates in the summer of 2021. The major South African club immediately sent him on his second loan to Cape Town All Stars.[3][4][5] With Maarman, All Stars reached the playoffs to the Premier Division, but did not succeed.[6]
The next season, Maarman was loaned out again, this time to his old club Chippa United.[7] He made his first-tier debut in the 2022–23 South African Premier Division.[8] In the summer of 2023, both Chippa United and possibly other clubs wanted to sign Maarman permanently.[9] In August 2023 Chippa United managed to complete the transfer.[10]
