Ajax are in an uncomfortable position on the Premier Soccer League table having won just four of their 16 games this season, losing nine and drawing three, scoring just 15 goals and conceding 26.
Together with Mabhuti Khanyeza and Lance Davids, who recently joined the Parow-based club, Ajax are looking to improve on this situation.
Nale hardly featured for Chiefs under the guidance of former coach Vladimir Vermezovic and even under present gaffer Stuart Baxter he did not play much as he would have liked - with Bafana Bafana international Siphiwe Tshabalala and George Lebese preferred ahead of the crafty winger.
The former Golden Arrows winger believes though that once he gets his chance he will produce the goods to become a regular player.
"Once I get my chance I know I can make a difference. I'm here to play soccer, to enjoy the game, to grow as a player and more importantly to lift the team up," Nale told Football411.com
"I'm working hard at my game and it's up to the coach to select me. When that will happen is up to him, I've just joined and there is no rush, although I do want to play now," he said excitedly.
"I've got the experience and the hunger to play but I know I have to prove myself at training first and then on the field, and I am confident I will do that."
Ajax captain Nazeer Allie says there is no rush to see Nale, Davids or Khanyeza on the field as they still have to adjust to living in Cape Town as well as to the club.
"It may not seem difficult to fit in at the club, or more so with the tactics the coach wants, but moving is not easy and we must not forget that the new guys have to settle in with that too," the defender said.
"They are quality players who we know of and they are fitting in fine, but let's not rush them. They doing well at training and I can see that Nale will be that old Nale we knew from Arrows days."
