Former Warriors captain Knowledge Musona might be yet to make his official debut at Saudi Pro League side Al Riyadh but he has already been entrusted with captaincy ahead of the new season.

Musona joined the Riyadh-based side last month after leaving Saudi Pro League team Al Tai, where he was also the club captain.

The 33-year-old former Zimbabwe international, who has played professionally in South Africa, Germany and Belgium before moving to Saudi Arabia is one of the most experienced players in the Riyadh dressing room.

And the club’s head coach Yannick Ferrera appears to be counting on Musona’s experience ahead of the new season after entrusting him with a leadership role.

Musona wore the armband in Al Riyadh’s first pre-season friendly match against United Arab Emirates side Al Khaleej Khor Fakkan.
