His senior club career began with Harare Gunners in 2010 and he also played for Dynamos, the most popular team in Zimbabwe, before joining SuperSport.
Chigova later spent five seasons with Polokwane City in the South African first and second tiers before rejoining SuperSport in 2020.
Chigova’s death came five days after former Zimbabwe midfielder and coach Rahman Gumbo, 59, died following a heart attack in neighbouring Botswana.
