Pfumbidzai’s manager Andrew Rusike said they negotiated for a short contract because they realised the player had great potential.
“He (Pfumbidzai) has signed a one-year contract. We didn’t want him to sign a longer contract because we know he has great potential. He might not even be there for the whole season. He should be leaving at the end of June. He is due to start pre-season preparations on July 1. We are happy for him, going straight to Europe from here is really special. He is a player with great potential. Even if he comes back to South Africa, he has been exposed,” said Rusike.
Pfumbidzai was part of the Young Warriors squad that drew 2-2 against Swaziland a week ago to advance to the third and final qualifying round of the Under-23 African Championships. He scored an equaliser from the penalty spot which ensured the Young Warriors advanced to the third round on the away goals rule.
The Caps United player was also part of the squad that drew 1-1 against Cameroon in Yaounde to seal a ticket to the All-Africa Games to be staged in Congo Brazzaville in September.
Pfumbidzai joins fellow countryman Quincy Antipas, who is already on the books of Hobro having also played for SønderjyskE and Brondby. Another Zimbabwean, former Harare City forward Silas Songani, also plays his club football in Denmark turning out for SønderjyskE. Songani has been there since January 2014. The Danish club finished the season on seventh position on the league table with 43 points with Midtjylland winning the league with 68 points.
