Rodreck Mutuma (born 5 April 1988) is a Zimbabwean footballer currently playing with Dynamos in the Premier Soccer League. He also plays for the Zimbabwe national team.
Career
His soccer career started in Zhombe at Mopani Primary School, where he did Grades 5 to 7 before taking Forms 1 and 2 at Nyaradzo Secondary School.
Club
Mutuma started his career with Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League side Dynamos in 2011. He stayed with Dynamos until 2013, when he joined South African Premier Soccer League club Bloemfontein Celtic. He made 14 appearances and scored two goals over two seasons for Bloem Celtic. In April 2014, it was claimed that Mutuma had rejoined former club Dynamos on a one-year contract after Bloem Celtic ended his contract. However, it was revealed in May that the South African club hadn’t officially released him and therefore he couldn’t be signed as a free agent for Dynamos.
Mutuma had a trial with Moroka Swallows in June but failed to win a contract. He subsequently rejoined Dynamos in Zimbabwe after his situation with Bloem Celtic was cleared by FIFA. He remained with Dynamos until 31 December 2014 when he left following the expiration of his contract. Two months later, Mutuma agreed to join CAPS United on a two-year contract. However, in May 2015 Mutuma was again on the move as he quit CAPS United, citing unpaid wages and bonuses. He then joined Dynamos for the third time in his career on 11 July.
International
Mutuma has received 7 caps for the Zimbabwe national team. His debut came in 2013 in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Egypt, and he has gone on to make six more appearances for Zimbabwe. He scored his first and second international goal in a 2016 African Nations Championship qualifier first leg against Lesotho on 18 October 2015. In the second leg, seven days later, Mutuma scored his third international goal.
