OBRIEL CHIRINDA has been described as a CONMAN by Dynamos for signing a contract with them and then going on to complete a move to champions Ngezi Platinum Stars.
The Warriors forward is currently training with the champions.
He joined Ngezi Platinum Stars from Bulawayo Chiefs last week.
However, the Glamour Boys have taken the first steps of a process which could force the PSL to bar him from playing for the champions.
Chirinda’s camp met with Dynamos officials in December and the striker agreed to join the DeMbare ship.
This was on the understanding that Bulawayo Chiefs were in breach of the contract, which made him a free agent.
“Actually, Obriel (Chirinda) was told that he was free to look for employment elsewhere with assurances that FUZ will stand by him since Bulawayo Chiefs were failing to meet their side of the agreement,” sources said.
But, after learning that the striker was on his way to Dynamos, Bulawayo Chiefs started to dig in, forcing the Harare giants to the negotiating table.
With Dynamos holding their contract with Chirinda, the striker was signing for the champions, who unveiled the player last week.
The Glamour Boys are now seeking recourse and have written to the Premier Soccer League to advise them about the situation.
“Dynamos Football Club hereby inform you that player, Obriel Chirinda of Bulawayo Chiefs Football Club, has a contract with ourselves following protracted engagements between Dynamos FC, the player and his management team,” reads part of the letter.
“The engagements in question were done with the full knowledge of Bulawayo Chiefs FC who even asked us for an offer for the services of the (said) player.
“As Dynamos Football Club was expecting the transfer issue to be finalised with Bulawayo Chiefs, we then got wind of Bulawayo Chiefs FC’s dealing with another PSL club upon which the player was then publicly unveiled by the club in question.
“Dynamos Football Club hereby request that due process be observed in regularising the registration of the player for 2024 so as to avoid double dealing by clubs in the future.”
DeMbare even released some of the strikers who were on their roster last season, including Tinashe Makanda, Nyasha Chintuli and Jayden Bakari, as they anticipated the imminent arrival of Chirinda.
