Young Zimbabwean player Nigel Ndlovu has left for Danish side Hobro IK after landing a deal with the club.

Speaking to Soccer24 Ndlovu expressed his delight at landing a contract with Hobro. “I’m feeling very excited for the challenge to play in Europe it’s a dream come true said Ndlovu.

“I knew I had been signed as soon as Quincy told me they were interested in me during an interview after our trials he concluded.

Ndlovu penned a year and half deal with the option of an extension.
