The youngster, who turns 19 in July, signed with Dynamos at the beginning of last season, but did not get enough game time, prompting his manager Gibson Mahachi to move him to Highlanders.
He is currently training with Bosso wih the hope of impressing stand-in coaches Amini Soma-Phiri and Cosmas Zulu before Dutchman Elroy Akbay receives his work permit.
Sources said the young forward is keen on joining Highlanders after failing to get game time in the capital.
Mahachi confirmed his client, Kadyaridzire, together with 18-year-old left-back, Ronald Sibanda, are at Highlanders.
“Kadyaridzire was on a one-year (renewable) contract with Dynamos. He is now trying his luck at Highlanders. He has been training with Highlanders for two days. He started on Tuesday. I took him to Highlanders with another boy, Ronald Sibanda, a very talented left-back, who has just finished school. All I can say is that they are being assessed by the coaches at Highlanders,” he said.
