WARRIORS forward Tawanda Maswanhise has confirmed he will be leaving his boyhood club Leicester City after spending 12 years at the former English champions.
The forward, who recently made his debut for the Warriors, announced the news on Instagram.
“After 12 years at Leicester City, my time has come to an end. I want to thank the players and coaching staff throughout my journey at the club.
“I would also like to thank the fans for their massive support as I really enjoyed representing the club. Thanks for the beautiful memories.”
In April, Maswanhise was on trials at a lower division English club Stockport City.
Stockport will be playing in the English League One next season after winning the League Two championship last season.
The 21-year-old has spent over 10 years in the Leicester City development structures and has made huge progress at the Foxes, to the point of being included in the Premier League match day squad of the first team.
Maswanhise has previously won the Leicester development side Player of the Year award.
He was born in Zimbabwe and moved to the United Kingdom at the age of two.
Following on from seven Under-18s appearances in his breakthrough season of 2019/20, Maswanhise made his Development Squad debut against West Ham United in March 2021, while also being named on the bench for a Premier League fixture against Manchester United at Old Trafford two months later.
His involvement for the Under-18s increased across 2020/21 too, with 20 league appearances bringing six assists and a goal.
The 2021/22 season was another campaign of positive progress for the young Leicester City star.
In the 2022/23 and the Zimbabwean again made positive in-roads, finding the net in all of City’s opening six fixtures across two competitions.
