WHEN life gives you lemons, make ORANGE juice — and that’s exactly what CAPS United goalkeeper Harmony Nare has done.
The 31-year-old shotstopper realised his dream earlier this year when he signed for CAPS United from ZPC Hwange, a former Zifa Southern Region Division One side. Since joining the PSL giants, Nare has been relishing every moment, helping Makepekepe regain rhythm under Zambian coach, Ian Bakala.
“It has come true for me. I will always keep working hard. I’m happy to see my career grow in my debut season with a PSL side. It has been challenging, but with the help of my teammates and coaches, I believe I will continue to rise,” Nare said.
