Dynamos FC has officially bid farewell to captain Emmanuel “Hybrid” Jalai, confirming he will not feature in the club’s 2026 season after securing a move to South Africa’s Durban City FC.
In a statement seen by ZiGoats, the Harare giants said:
“Dynamos Football Club would like to wholeheartedly thank our outgoing Captain, Emmanuel Jalai, as he embarks on his next chapter. Both Dynamos FC and Jalai had intended to conclude a new deal ahead of the 2026 season. However, this could not materialise following the emergence of interest from a foreign club. As a result, the number 2 will not be part of the Glamour Boys’ squad for the upcoming 2026 season. Over our 63-year history, many outstanding players have proudly worn the blue and white of DeMbare. Emmanuel ranks among the very best of them and stands as one of the true icons of the domestic game.”
Dynamos highlighted Jalai’s professionalism and contribution:
“It has always been Emmanuel’s professional ambition to secure a move to South Africa or Europe. In recognition of his immense contribution to the club over six seasons, Dynamos FC could not stand in his way. He will always remain part of the Dynamos family, and we will continue to support and celebrate his success.”
Jalai, who appeared in over 180 matches for Dynamos, now steps into Durban City’s setup with a contract running to 2028 and an option to extend to 2030. The move is being hailed as one of the biggest packages ever handed to a Zimbabwean first-time arrival in South Africa, reflecting both his talent and the value Dynamos helped build in him.
For Dynamos, Emmanuel Jalai leaves as a captain and club icon; for Durban City, he arrives as a proven Zimbabwean international ready to make an immediate impact.
