Zimbabwe’s veteran forward Nyasha Mushekwi is back in the Chinese top flight league- this time with Zhejiang Professional after beating Qingdao (0-1) 0-0 on aggregate in the promotional play-offs played on Wednesday to book their place in the top flight league<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 34-year-old Mushekwi who also helped Dalian Pro (formerly Dalian Yifang) to promotion in 2017, is back in the Chinese top flight league a year after being forced out of Dalian Pro to join league one side Zhejiang Greentown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mushekwi who only played in the last five minutes of the game in their 0-1 first leg win against Qingdao, started in the second leg and was later substituted in the 85th minutes as they drew nil all – to secure their promotion place and return to the Super league after missing for five seasons<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhejiang were relagated from the Chinese Super League in 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the second time Mushekwi has won promotion with a Chinese league one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017 he became the top scorer of Dalian Pro after banging 16 goals to help the team win the championship and an automatic promotion to the Super league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite impressing for Dalian Pro where he was the club’s top scorer in all three seasons he was at the club with a total of 48 goals and becoming the club’s second all the time scorer after South Africa’s Dino Ndlovu, was still let go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zimbabwean was forced out of the club after the owners made a new investment into the team to challenge for honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wanda group invested more than 2-3 Billion RMB (\u20ac 230m-400m) for a massive recruitment of top talent in Europe to help Dalian Pro challenge for titles bringing in players like Tomas Hamsick, Nicholas Gaitan, Yannick Carrasco and Rondon to strengthen the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this was not to be as Dalian Pro find themselves back in the league one- two years after their promotion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhejiang are promoted to the Chinese Super League alongside Wuhan Three Towns,
Meizhou Hakka and Chengdu Rongcheng whilst Qingdao joins Dalian Pro in relegation to league one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains to be seen whether Mushekwi will continue at Zhejiang – which is most likely or he will head to Sweden his second home to wind up his career at Djurgadens. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
