Highlanders have completed the signing of winger Benjani Junior Mwaruwari as the Bulawayo giants continue strengthening their squad ahead of the remainder of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season.
The 21-year-old joins Bosso from the United Kingdom, where he had been playing lower league football.
In a statement, Highlanders confirmed the acquisition and welcomed the young winger to the club.
"We are delighted to announce the signing of Benjani Junior Mwaruwari. We welcome him to the Highlanders family and look forward to his contribution as we pursue our objectives," the club said.
The move sets up a unique father-and-son partnership at Bosso, with Benjani Junior now playing under the guidance of his father, Highlanders head coach Benjani Mwaruwari.
The former Zimbabwe international, who took charge of Highlanders earlier this season, has overseen an improvement in the team's performances, including Sunday's 1-0 victory over league leaders Scottland that ended the champions' nine-match winning streak.
Benjani Junior will be hoping to make an immediate impact as Highlanders seek to build on their recent momentum and strengthen their push up the league standings.
His arrival adds further attacking options to Mwaruwari's squad as Bosso look to maintain consistency during the second half of the season.
