Wednesday is practically all the 21-year-old has ever known, joining his boyhood club at the young age of nine before honing his craft at Middlewood Road prior to his step up into the seniors under Darren Moore.

A loan spell with Carlisle United gave him a first taste at regular first-team football, and a year ago he became a fully-fledged international after making his debut for Zimbabwe out in Morocco. Then came the 2025/26 campaign as he became one of the more experienced players almost overnight amid a plethora of exits.

Now, after 35 Championship appearances, a first professional goal for the club, and a mini tournament with the Warriors, Fusire is enjoying some downtime before the work starts again over at S6.
