WARRIORS striker, Prince Dube ,wants to leave Azam according to reports in Tanzania.
The player is said to have written a letter to the club informing them of his decision to have his contract terminated.
According to Tanzanian newspaper Daily News, Azam Head of Information and Communication, Thabiti Zakaria, confirmed receipt of the letter from the striker.
“Azam FC confirms receiving a contract termination letter from Dube, requesting that he wants to leave the club he joined in 2020.
“He has submitted his letter to the management, which has already responded. The contract he signed before the start of this season keeps him at the club until 2026.
“As such, until now, he has two and half years to parade at the club and the management has maintained that he can leave only if the terms of the contract are adhered to,” said Zakaria.
Dube joined Azam in 2020 after leaving local giants Highlanders. The 27-year-old quickly became a prolific goalscorer at the club.
His career has been derailed by injuries but the striker appears to be back in form.
In his first season in Tanzania, he found the back of the net 14 times and slightly missed out on the Golden Boot gong.
John Bocco of Simba, won the accolade with 16 goals while his teammate Chris Mugalu found the target 15 times that season.
He left Bosso in 2017 for SuperSport United in the Premier Soccer League of South Africa but he did not manage to break into the first team.
He was loaned to Black Leopards for a season but still battled for regular game time.
Dube became Zimbabwe’s 2019 Soccer Star of the Year second runners-up, after he regained form at the 2006 league champions.
The forward made his national team debut on March 26, 2017, when Zimbabwe played to a 0-0 draw against neighbours Zambia.
Since then, he has played in nine matches and has scored six goals.-@innocentskizoe
