Dynamo\u2019s underrated striker Jairos Kasondo eyes second season with Dynamos as contract deadline looms.<\/p>\n
The underappreciated 26-year-old was the top goal-scorer at Dynamos last season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite being a top goal-scorer, Dynamos almost got relegated, with the last match of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League deciding their fate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Born in Banket, Mashonaland West Province, where it\u2019s really hard to be noticed, Kasondo found his way against all odds.<\/p>\n
Kasondo made his professional debut for Ominia FC, a Division 2 team in Banket.<\/p>\n
From there, Kasondo moved to Banket United FC in Division 1, where he played for half a decade and was the top goal-scorer for five years.<\/p>\n
Kasindo was also the second-best goal-scorer in the Northern Region Soccer League in 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Kasondo joined Pam FC on a two-year contract and was again the top goal-scorer for two years.<\/p>\n
Kasondo joined Dynamos in 2025 on a two-year contract expiring at the end of 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am the person I believe I am, and I am determined about what I want,\u201d Kasondo said, highlighting his goal-scoring abilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always wanted to play for a big team in Zimbabwe, and my dreams came true because playing for Dynamos is one of my biggest achievements as a professional footballer.<\/p>\n
Kasindo shared his sentiments on Dynamos relegation battle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLast season was survival of the fittest, and we couldn\u2019t convert some chances to score goals for almost half the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe almost got punished for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kasondo further said that he, he at some point, lost hope.<\/p>\n
\u201cI almost lost hope, but we turned the tables and played six games unbeaten, yet<\/p>\n
remained stagnant near the bottom of the log table.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under Zambian coach Kelvin Kaindu, Kasondo got game time halfway through the season and shone.<\/p>\n
Kasondo netted four goals, including openers against Kwekwe United and Green Fuel, a goal in the<\/p>\n
Harare Derby, and an equalizer against Highlanders FC.<\/p>\n
Despite challenges, Kasondo stood tall, commuting from Banket to Harare (96km) for training.<\/p>\n
Heroes can come from anywhere, and Kasondo deserves his flowers and the hype.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
