From earning R5,000 monthly in Cape Town to securing a £16. 6 million move to the Premier League - Marshall Munetsi's incredible journey from PSL to Wolverhampton Wanderers represents one of African football's most inspiring success stories.
The deal for the 28-year-old Zimbabwean was one of two completed by the Black Country football club"I'm delighted. It's a dream come true for me. I've always wanted to be part of something big, and being part of Wolves is something that is very big for me, and is big for my family," Munetsi said when speaking to his new club's website.February 4, 2025
“I'm very excited. It's probably going to be the first time I’ve had a big opportunity to be representing a bigger club. Nothing against Reims, but now you're going to be playing in the Premier League, playing for Wolves. Munetsi has come a long way since moving to South Africa in 2015 to play for lower-tier Ubuntu Cape Town. His performances for the Western Cape club took him to Baroka FC on loan, and ultimately to Soweto giants Orlando Pirates, where he spent two years.
