Former Usuthu Midfielder Ovidy Karuru Resurfaces At Stellenbosch FC

Zimbabwe Warriors midfielder Ovidy Karuru who last week terminated his contract with Durban based side, Amazulu by mutual consent has joined Cape Town-based side, Stellenbosch FC for the second half of the 2019-20 ABSA Premiership season.

Karuru refuted rumours that he had been offloaded at Usuthu which was the major headline in some sections of the media last week but sought to take up a new challenge.

The 30-year old was entering into the final six months of his deal with Usuthu.

He signed a short-term contract with top-flight club Stellenbosch on the same day his release was announced.

“It is not true to say that I was offloaded. I had already received a very good offer from Stellenbosch via email and I felt that it was the right time to make the move and take up a new challenge. So we agreed with AmaZulu and immediately after I signed for Stellenbosch.”

“I signed the contract in my home. That is how much Stellenbosch wanted my services and, as a footballer, you always want to play where you are loved. They had been chasing after my signature since they were promoted.” said Karuru.
