Club career

Azam Tigers F.C.

Kaliati began his career at Blantyre-based club Azam Tigers, first in the youth ranks before making his professional debut at 16. After a breakout season in the Malawi Premier Division as well as consistent performances for the Malawian U20 National Team, he was signed by Malawian champions, Mighty Wanderers F.C.

Mighty Wanderers F.C.

As one of Malawi's most high-profile "wonderkids", Isaac was signed by Wanderers over competing interest from Big Bullets FC.[1] He was an influential player in both the 2015 and 2016 seasons, guiding Wanderers to domestic cup glory in 2015.

Cape Town City F.C.

Isaac's first big move was announced on 31 March 2017 when he signed for South African Premier League cup champions Cape Town City at just 18 years old.[2] Under the guidance of head coach Eric Tinkler, Isaac will look to forge what is touted to be a very promising career in Africa's most competitive league.

International career

He made his international debut for Malawi in a 1-0 victory over Uganda on 6 July 2015 at just 17 years old.[3] He has since featured regularly for the national team and has been touted as one of the finest footballing prospects to come out of Malawi.
