ZIMBABWE international striker, Nyasha Mushekwi, will start a new adventure in the Chinese League One championships at the weekend subject to match fitness.
Mushekwi decided to stay in China despite temptations to join the Saudi Arabia Pro League or the South African Premiership.
He then moved a grade down the league pyramid when he joined the second tier league by penning a deal with Chinese League One side Yunnan Yukun, who begin their campaign on Saturday with a trip to Dongguan United.
The 36-year-old former CAPS United and Mamelodi Sundowns hitman left a lasting impression at Chinese Super League side, Zhejiang Greentown, where he remains their all-time top-scorer.
His contract expired at the end of last season and was officially named as a Yunnan Yukun striker on February 22.
Mushekwi has been in China since 2016 and has been with the League One for five seasons (2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021).
He played in the Super League the other four seasons (2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023).
Mushekwi remains very loyal to the Green Machine and donated a luxury bus, which cost about US$200 000 to land in this country, to his former club.
Last month, he also came home and donated training equipment for Makepekepe.
