Kerry FC are delighted to announce the arrival of 21-year-old Zimbabwe international Shane Maroodza, who signs for the Kingdom after a long period with Huddersfield in the UK.
Maroodza becomes Colin Healy’s 3rd signing of the summer transfer window, following on from the recent arrivals of Arran Healy and Robbie Cleary.
Maroodza has enjoyed a successful period playing football in England, previously playing for Huddersfield Academy teams from Under 17 to Under 21 before graduating to Huddersfield B. He also had loan spells with Ossett United and Bradford PA. He had a successful period with the latter in the National League, playing 11 games.
Shane has also represented his native Zimbabwe on a number of occasions, making his debut in March 2024. He was also part of the international squad in June 2024 as part of their World Cup Qualifying campaign.
Speaking after he arrived in Kerry, Shane Maroodza told kerryfc.com, “I’m delighted to be here and I’m looking forward to getting going. I’ve been settling in since I arrived here, and I’m really enjoying it so far. I just want to thank Colin for believing in me, and I want to perform for all the supporters here in Mounthawk Park. The other players have been telling me about the atmosphere created here, and I can’t wait to experience that first hand”
Also speaking to kerryfc.com after Shane Maroodza signed for Kerry FC, Manager Colin Healy said, “We are delighted to have Shane here in Kerry and looking forward to seeing what he can do on the pitch. He has been in training with us for the last few weeks and has been really good around the group, and has fit in really well. He comes with some fantastic experience, from his time with Huddersfield and, of course, making his international debut with Zimbabwe. Hopefully, he enjoys his time here in Kerry”
