Kunashe Chando is both excited and disappointed.
It’s a season that he never thought would be his breakthrough after mere guts saw him approaching coach Takesure Chiragwi to ask for only training time at the beginning of the year.
Even as he impressed the gaffer, Chando was never certain he would get massive minutes on the green grass.
“That excites me a lot when I think about it,” said Chando.
“You know getting game time brings the ultimate satisfaction for a footballer.
“For me the year 2026 will always be in my mind because I got the chance to play for this massive club.”
Chando is a frontrunner for the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Rookie of the Year which is reserved for players under the age of 20.
With three games before the season ends, Makepekepe have a big chance to finish the race in the Top 4.
“We deserved better than just a Top 4 place, that’s how I feel,” added Chando.
“The team played well in the opening third of the season and we felt we could fly but then football is like that.”
