Bosso midfield beast scoops top player gong

Highlanders midfield anchor Mason Mushore is in the form of his life, and his teammates have made sure the whole football fraternity knows it.

The combative midfielder has been crowned Player's Player of the Month for May, a prestigious honour voted for by the Highlanders squad-a gesture that reflects the deep respect he commands in the dressing room.

The award, sponsored by the Business Friends of Bosso, now comes with a beefed-up reward of US$500, up from US$400-recognition for the man putting in the hard yards week in and week out.

But it doesn't end there.

Mushore's impressive performances in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League have not gone unnoticed at national level. The 25-year-old has earned a call-up to the Warriors squad and is expected to feature in Zimbabwe's crucial World Cup qualifiers against Burkina Faso on Friday and Niger next Tuesday, both to be played in Morocco.

Often described as Bosso's "midfield general," Mushore has been pivotal in Highlanders' recent run of solid performances. His tackling, composure under pressure, and ability to dictate the tempo of matches have made him a standout figure in the PSL.

"Mason is the heartbeat of this team. He covers every blade of grass and leads by example. This award is well deserved," said a teammate who voted for him.

Highlanders fans have also rallied behind their star, with many taking to social media to congratulate him and express excitement over his Warriors call-up.


Now, Mushore is set to trade the cauldron of Barbourfields for the international stage as he links up with Coach Jairos Tapera's national squad. With Zimbabwe looking to keep their World Cup dream alive, all eyes will be on Mushore to replicate his club form on the continental stage.

"This is a massive moment for him and for Bosso," said a club official. "It's proof that hard work pays off."

As the midfielder packs his boots for Morocco, Highlanders faithful and the entire nation will be watching closely, hopeful that Mushore can carry his club dominance onto the international scene.

Mushore's rise has been a steady one, and many believe he's only scratching the surface of his potential.

From the trenches of PSL battles to flying the flag in Warriors colours, Mason Mushore is a man in motion-and judging by his current trajectory, the best may still be to come.
