Zimbabwe Warriors fight to the end!

Benoni Premier United chairman Dumisani Ndlovu has confirmed the signing of Zimbabwean goalkeeper Energy Murambadora on a two-year deal. This will the Warriors keeper’s second stint at the club, as he was on their books a few seasons back, when they still playing under the name of Hellenic, whose PSL status was bought by the Rabbits. Hellenic, however, were relegated that same season. Murambadoro, who was the bedrock of Zimbabwe’s CAPS United team in 2003 and was voted the Soccer Star of the Year before moving to Hellenic after the 2004 African Cup of Nations finals, believes he has gathered himself now and will shake off the dust.

The minder hit the international scene when he joined Israeli outfit Bnei Sakhnin in 2003 and played in the Uefa Cup where they were eliminated by England's Newcastle United.

But the giant goalkeeper cut short his stay at Bnei Sakhnin who then refused to grant him a reverse international clearance so that he could play for any other club.

Murambadoro failed to play club football for the greater part of 2005 because of his stand-off with the Israeli team and only managed to make a club comeback on October 12 last year when Eiffel Wildcats beat CAPS United 2-1 in a league match at the National Sports Stadium.

His dream of trying to revive his dance with the European game also went up in smoke when he failed to move to English sides Crystal Palace and Queens Park Rangers.

Murambadoro’s inactivity not only threatened his career but also cost him the post of Warriors number one goalkeeper. However, since the start of the last season Murambadoro has been battling to revive his game and has had to contend with sitting on the bench CAPS' Premiership matches, as his former understudy Tsungai Mudzamiri took over between the posts.

Now, moving back to the Rabbits, he is hoping to put the past behind him.
