CAPE TOWN – Ubuntu Cape Town FC striker, Ranga Chivaviro, on Tuesday penned a deal with PSL outfit Baroka Football Club. The striker, who was on course for last season's golden boot award until his injury mid-season took him out of action, has made the move with immediate effect.
Chivaviro was an integral part of Ubuntu’s first NFD campaign, and his goals early in the season contributed to the club avoiding the drop on the final day. Although the 25-year old missed the last two months of the season with an ankle sprain, he still managed to end off with 13 goals; and his league tally of 11 was just four shy of the coveted NFD Golden Boot award.
“I’m really excited for Ranga’s move,” said Ubuntu Cape Town FC coach, Casey Prince. “Ranga was a big part of our success last year and we’re thankful for his efforts. Ranga was interested in improving and growing his game so that he could go to the next level."
