Zimbabwean international Tawanda Maswanhise signed on a short-term deal till January.

A product of the Leicester City youth academy, Maswanhise developed through the ranks with the foxes before cementing himself as a ‘shining light’ in the club’s Premier League 2 Division 1 squad.

The forward made seven under-18 appearances throughout his breakthrough season in 2019/20 before making his development squad debut against West Ham United in 2021. The youngster soon made the bench for the senior side two months later against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Goals continued to follow Maswanhise in the club’s development side, netting 22-times across 61-appearances in Premier league 2. The 21-year-old’s performances were rewarded when he made his senior debut as a second-half substitute against Millwall in a 3-2 victory during the third round of the FA cup under manager Enzo Maresca.

Capable of playing centrally or as a winger, Maswanhise netted a hat-trick as a trialist for English league Two outfit Stockport County after departing the foxes this summer. The Zimbabwean international, capped three-times by his country, will now join Stuart kettlewell’s side until January.
