Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Warriors defender Munashe Garananga<\/b> has completed his permanent transfer to Belgian Pro League club KV Mechelen from Moldovan team Sheriff Tiraspol.<\/p>\n

Garananga (23), links up with fellow Zimbabwean Bill Antonio, who is also a former Prince Edward Boys High student, at the top-flight side.<\/p>\n

According to Soccer24<\/b>, Garananga signed a three-year-contract with KV Mechelen until 2027.<\/p>\n

Mechelen Sports Director Tim Matthys said Garananga\u2019s signature was being sought by several clubs. He said:<\/p>\n

With Munashe we are bringing in a talented defender who, at the age of 23, can already show a good track record.<\/p>\n

He already has a lot of experience and has also played Conference and Europa League.<\/p>\n

Munashe is a boy who wants to invest in his sporting career. Lucky for us, because otherwise, he would be a waste of money.<\/p>\n

The many offers from several larger clubs proved that. I look forward to how he will develop with us.<\/p>\n

Garananga said he is looking forward to playing alongside Antonio. He said:<\/p>\n

Bill Antonio and I used to go to the same high school. It will be a nice reunion.<\/p>\n

I personally want to develop further as a footballer here in the coming years.<\/p>\n

I believe I am in the right place for that in Mechelen.<\/p>\n

Garananga is a former Ubuntu Cape Town Academy player. He joined the Belarusian premier league side, Dynamo Brest in February 2022<\/p>\n

In January 2023, Garananga left Dynamo Brest to join the Moldovan team, Sheriff Tiraspol.<\/p>\n

He made his debut for Sheriff in the Europa Conference League playoffs stage against Serbian side FK Partizan in February 2023.<\/p>\n
