NOW that the Warriors finally have a coach, anticipation now shifts to who will make his first ever squad list.
The new coach, a German national, Michael Nees has a large pool of players to choose from including the British Brigade whose numbers continue to grow.
Tavonga Kuleya is one of the players who is plying his trade in England and could perhaps someday get to represent Zimbabwe.
During this past week, Kuleya left English League Two Side Doncaster Rovers on a loan move.
Kuleya will spend the next month at English sixth tier Truro City.
Truro City said in a statement: “Truro City are delighted to announce the loan signing of winger Kuleya from League Two side, Doncaster Rovers.
“Born in Bradford, but of Zimbabwean descent, Kuleya will spend the next month with the Tinners and will feature in Saturday’s final pre-season friendly against Gloucester City.”
The 20-year-old made his first-team debut for Doncaster Rovers in September 2021 during an EFL Trophy match against Scunthorpe United.
In the previous campaign, he registered five league appearances for Doncaster Rovers.
The forward has also accumulated valuable experience through multiple loan spells at clubs including FC United of Manchester, Marske United, Sheffield FC, Gainsborough Trinity and Matlock Town.
He perhaps could be one player to impress Nees in the future.
The 57-year-old German gaffer has already touted himself as a “modern and innovative coach”, who is driven by international challenges and can think “outside the box” to gain a competitive advantage.
The Warriors begin their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification assignment against Kenya in September and conclude the campaign in November before shifting focus to the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers that resume next year in March.
