His performances against Egypt, Angola, and South Africa drew considerable attention, with a notable assist coming in the Warriors' 3-2 defeat to Bafana Bafana.
Despite being born in Nairobi, Kenya, and eligible to represent Germany through his father's nationality, Fabisch chose Zimbabwe on account of his maternal heritage.
A career forged in German football
Fabisch built his entire professional career in Germany, most recently turning out for Erzgebirge Aue in the country's third division. Across his club career, he has racked up more than 200 appearances, contributing 37 goals and 22 assists in all competitions. He also lifted the Saxony Cup with the club last season.
Newly appointed Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando da Cruz is understood to regard Fabisch's experience as an important addition to the squad, particularly given the club's return to the CAF Confederation Cup in the upcoming season.
Bafana Bafana star dumps Kaizer Chiefs
