Gamecocks developmental coaches tip young Moyo to shine

CHICKEN Inn FC Southern Region Division Two developmental side coaches Guide Goddard and Nkosana “Sancho” Gumbo have tipped young Mayibongwe Moyo to dazzle in the country’s elite football league.

Moyo (19), a former Amhlophe High School pupil, was promoted to Gamecocks first team in July.

“He has been doing well with us in the club’s developmental side hence his promotion to the first team. He was a defender whom we turned to a striker owing to his skill and ability. I’m happy that the first team coaches also recognised his potential,”said Goddard.

His sentiments were echoed by Gumbo who said Moyo was a star in the making.

“Mayibongwe has great potential and it was no wonder to see him being part of the 20 member squad that beat Highlanders last weekend. He is a great striker who has all the football skills. He scores at our everyday sessions. However, I reckon he should remain level headed,” said Gumbo.

In the Gamecocks striking department, Moyo, who has pin picked for senior team assignments four times so far, joined speedy Brian Muza, veteran Clive Augusto and lanky Malvin Hwata.-@FungaiMuderere
