Turkish club Konyaspor has officially confirmed the acquisition of Zimbabwean international Teenage Hadebe. The 28-year-old central defender returns to the Süper Lig, marking a notable comeback to Turkish football after departing Yeni Malatyaspor three years ago.
The announcement of Teenage Hadebe’s signing was made by Konyaspor on Friday evening, solidifying the player’s commitment to the team until the conclusion of the current season.
Hadebe, who most recently played for Major League Soccer (MLS) side Houston Dynamo, is poised to wear the number 15 jersey for Konyaspor.
In an official press release on the club’s website, Konyaspor extended a warm welcome to Hadebe, expressing their best wishes for his success in the distinctive green-white jersey.
The move to Konyaspor signifies a strategic decision for Hadebe, who, due to limited playing time at Houston Dynamo, seeks a revitalized phase in his footballing career.
In the ongoing 2022/23 season, the Zimbabwean defender made only two appearances, a stark contrast to his previous seasons where he consistently featured in a minimum of 16 matches annually.
Tasked with reinforcing Konyaspor’s defense, Hadebe brings a wealth of experience, drawing on his earlier stint in Turkey with Yeni Malatyaspor.
The short-term contract aligns with Konyaspor’s objectives for the current season, with the Süper Lig side currently navigating the challenges of potential relegation.
As Teenage Hadebe embarks on this new chapter with Konyaspor, the football fraternity eagerly anticipates witnessing his impact and contribution to the team’s defensive resilience and overall performance.
