UNHERALDED Zimbabwean football player Victor Chagonda said he is holding his own as he turns out for Philadelphia University where he is currently undergoing a four-year football scholarship.The former St George’s student is currently back home for the summer break and has been training with Motor Action to keep in shape.
The 22-year old Chagonda said getting a scholarship to a United States university has opened more avenues for him to develop his football career.
“At the moment I am back home on a summer break but everything has been going on well for me at the university so far.
“Actually I have been working hard and the university has now developed a keen interest for Zimbabwean players,” said Chagonda.
Chagonda, however, admitted that he was still not yet ripe to play for the national team.
“I still feel that I need a little bit more time to develop and at the moment I am progressing well,” he said.
Chagonda said he has also helped one Valentine Murombo to get a football scholarship at Jacksonville University in the United States.
“Valentine saw my videos on You Tube and he then contacted me. I advised him to compile a couple of his videos from football matches and then send them over to the United States.
“Luckily the coaches saw the videos and they were impressed such that they gave him a scholarship and he should starting school this August,” said Chagonda. Chagonda said football in the United States was still lagging behind in standards compared to the English Premiership.
