Zimbabwean international Ovidy Karuru (28) was surprised that despite a lackluster season in the lower leagues of competitive football hea��s made it back into the national team.
a�?The past three years have been hard, as nobody knew who I was or if Ovidy was still existing in football. I was even shocked when I was called up and played in the national team,a�?A� Karuru told Kickoff.com
For a guy who seemingly has the lotto winning numbers, dona��t be quick to discount him from going back to the top.
a�?Everyone wants to play in Europe, you can even ask someone who has a contract with Mamelodi Sundowns or any big team in South Africa, they will tell you a�?I want to go and play in Europe. There are clubs interested in me but it is a bit sketchy now. But there are talks going on in Sweden and Denmark,a�? he added.
Karuru was part of the Warriors squad that faced Liberia in an Afcon qualifier and received a warm welcome when he came on as a late substitute.
He has also been called up for the upcoming Cosafa Cup tournament.
Karuru joined French side Boulogne in 2009 from the now defunct Gunners before moving to Belgium side OH Leuven. However, his career appeared to go backwards when he signed for Kaizer Chiefs and struggled with game time at the club before being offloaded.
Currently he is with South Africaa��sA� National First Division side Amazulu. .
