HAVING been released by Championship side Luton Town, Warriors international Admiral Muskwe is trying his luck at English League One club Northampton FC.
Muskwe was released by the Hatters at the end of last season.
According to English publication, The Football Insider, Northampton, is considering signing him on a free transfer.
It remains to be seen what impact the move possible to League One will have on his future Warriors call-ups.
Muskwe made his debut for the Warriors in a 1-0 defeat to Lesotho in a friendly match played at Setsoto Stadium on 8 November 2017.
He came on as a substitute.
He also played for Zimbabwe in the World Cup 2022 First Round Qualifier against Somalia in 2019 both at home and away.
Muskwe was also named as part of the Warriors’ 23-man squad that participated at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals held in Cameroon in January and February 2022, where he played two games.
To date, Muskwe has played six matches for the Warriors.
The striker made 26 appearances after signing from Leicester City in 2021, scoring twice for the Hatters.
He spent most of the time on loan and was recently attached to Exeter City but missed the majority of the season due to an injury.
The Warriors international is still out of action nursing the injury.
Muskwe joined Luton Town on a permanent deal from Leicester City in 2021 for an undisclosed fee.
At that time, he became the eighth new addition to Nathan Jones’ squad that summer.
He gained senior football experience previously with Swindon Town and in the Championship with Wycombe Wanderers. Muskwe featured 19 times in total for Wycombe, scoring three goals, having helped Swindon to promotion from League Two in the second half of the 2019-20 campaign.
Capped by England at Under-16 and U-17, playing for the latter when he was 15 years old, the full Zimbabwe international had been in Leicester’s youth system since the age of nine and was named the Foxes’ Academy Player of the Season in 2016. — @innocentskizoe
