Zimbabwe Warriors prospect Cobert Junior Chimedza has completed a season-long loan move to Portuguese lower-division side AC Marinhense from Primeira Liga outfit Gil Vicente.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder, born in Harare, moved to England at 14 where he joined MK Dons. He later signed for Gil Vicente earlier this year but faced delays with international clearance, which meant the club’s foreign-player quota was already full by the time he became eligible.
Chimedza, who briefly trained with the Warriors squad in 2021 under Zdravko Logarusic, will now spend the 2025/26 campaign on loan to gain valuable playing time. He has already made his debut for Marinhense in their clash against Peniche.
