Warriors striker Prince Dube off to China

ZIMBABWE WARRIORS and Highlanders’ forward Prince Dube is leaving the country today for a yet to be named top Chinese club, News Day reveal.
Dube (22) still had a year’s contract with the Bulawayo giants and there could be a huge windfall for Highlanders and the youthful forward who had a good second half season at Bosso this year.

“Prince is leaving for China on Wednesday (today). I am not certain if he is going for trials or it’s a straight buy, but there has been constant communication between Highlanders, the club in China and Prince’s handlers. He is definitely leaving Highlanders,” the source said.

Dube could not be reached on his mobile phone yesterday.

Highlanders’ chief executive Nhlanhla Dube and the club’s media officer Ronald Moyo were also not reachable for a comment, but the source was adamant the striker is leaving today and is travelling via South Africa.

After being named Castle Lager Soccer Star second runner-up early this month Dube said his wish was to play in a bigger league in Europe.

After a poor start to the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Dube went on to score seven league goals for the Bulawayo giants and helped Highlanders win the Chibuku Super Cup scoring in every match of the tournament.

He was instrumental in Bosso’s rise to lift the club from fighting relegation to end the season on position six.
