MILTON Ncube announced his arrival at Highlanders in style with three well-executed goals as the Bulawayo giants beat Blue Rangers 4-0 in a Castle Lager Premiership match at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.
The 24-year-old utility player scored fabulous goals to send the more than 5 000 fans into song and dance.
Ncube put Bosso ahead in the 10th minute with a long range dipping shot and made it two in the 27th minute when he rounded his marker and chipped the ball with precision past a diving Blue Rangers goalkeeper.
The former Motor Action, Shooting Stars and FC Windermere player completed his hat-trick in the 69th minute with a bicycle kick to put the game beyond the reach of Blue Rangers.
"It feels great to score in my first competitive match for Highlanders and I hope to continue on that note.
"Actually, this was the first hat-trick of my career.
"When I went into the field I just wanted to enjoy myself and help the team get a positive result.
"Credit should go to the whole team because we fought as a unit and you could see that there was co-ordination. During the pre-season, there were reports that we lacked cohesion but I am happy that we got off to a good start. We will continue working hard," said Ncube, who had a sublime performance.
Ncube, who was playing as an attacking midfielder on Sunday, joined Highlanders from Motor Action as a free agent.
He has lots of Premiership experience and he believes that with time Highlanders will be the team to beat.
"It's only the start of the season and there are 29 more matches to play. I will take each game as it comes and hopefully will score more goals.
"I would also like to thank our supporters who stood by us today and even when we made mistakes, they cheered us. We hope they will continue doing like they did throughout the season because we need that," Ncube said.
