Zimbabwean striker Prince Dube has officially ended his spell with Tanzanian giants Young Africans (Yanga SC) after signing a two-year contract with newly promoted Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League side Hardrock FC.The move marks a return to his home country following the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2025/2026 season.Although Yanga had reportedly offered him a renewal, both parties failed to reach an agreement, leading to his exit as a free agent.

Dube’s transfer attracted strong interest from major African clubs, including Libya’s Al Ittihad, who reportedly offered around Sh1 billion, and South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs, who were also competing for his signature with a bid valued at approximately Sh950 million.

Despite these lucrative offers, Dube opted for a homecoming move to Hardrock FC, a club that has impressed in its debut top-flight season and currently sits second in the Zimbabwe league standings with 38 points from 19 matches.

During his farewell message, Dube expressed deep appreciation for Yanga supporters, coaching staff, and management, describing the club as more than just a football team but a family that played a major role in his career development.

He joined Yanga in the 2024/2025 season after leaving Azam FC and went on to become an important attacking figure, scoring 10 goals in the recently concluded season and contributing significantly in domestic and continental competitions.

His move to Hardrock FC is seen as both a sentimental return home and a strategic boost for the ambitious club as they continue challenging for the league title in their first-ever top-flight campaign.
