The forward is one of the most sought-after players in his position, having impressed at Azam over the past three seasons with 47 goals in 59 domestic appearances.
Dube is expected to be a key player in Young Africans’ quest to become one of the powerhouses in African football. In the last campaign, they reached the quarterfinals of the CAF Champions League but were eliminated by South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns.
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old has previously featured for Zimbabwe’s The Highlanders on two separate occasions, as well as Supersport United (twice) and Black Leopards in South Africa’s top-tier and second-tier leagues, respectively.
Since making his debut in 2017, Dube has earned 15 international caps for Zimbabwe’s national senior team, The Warriors.
