Early career

[edit | edit source]

Hadebe started his career with Bantu Rovers, making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2012.[2] He played the 2012 and 2013 seasons with Bantu in Division One while playing the 2014 season in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League.[3] Bantu Rovers were relegated from the PSL in 2014, so Hadebe joined top-flight side Highlanders in 2015 on a season-long loan.[4][3][5][6] After Hadebe helped Highlanders finish 6th on the table, he joined 2015 PSL champions Chicken Inn in January 2016.[7][3] Hadebe helped Chicken Inn win the Zimbabwean Independence Trophy, defeating Highlanders in the final.[8] All three Zimbabwean clubs Hadebe played for were located in his hometown of Bulawayo.

Kaizer Chiefs

[edit | edit source]

In July 2017, Hadebe signed for South African Premier Division side Kaizer Chiefs.[9] He had previously been on trial for Kaizer Chiefs in August 2016.[10] Hadebe missed the first three months of the season after suffering an ankle injury in pre-season.[11] He made his Kaizer Chiefs debut on 22 November 2017 in a 0–0 draw with AmaZulu.[12] On 4 April 2018, Hadebe scored in the 90+5th minute, his first goal for the club, to give Amakhosi a 1–0 away win over Free State Stars.[13] He ended the season with one goal in 13 league appearances, helping Kaizer Chiefs finish third in the Premier Division.[14]

After missing the start of the 2018–19 season due to an ankle injury, Hadebe made his first appearance of the season on 1 September in a 1–0 loss to SuperSport United in the second leg of the MTN 8 semifinals, with SuperSport winning 3–2 on aggregate.[15][16] He made 13 appearances during league play as Amakhosi finished ninth in the table.[14] Hadebe made five appearances in the Nedbank Cup as Kaizer Chiefs finished runners-up, losing to second-tier side TS Galaxy in the final 1–0.[15]

Yeni Malatyaspor

[edit | edit source]

On 14 July 2019, Hadebe was sold to Turkish Süper Lig side Yeni Malatyaspor for an undisclosed fee.[17][18] He made his debut for Yeni Malatyaspor on 25 July in a 2–2 draw with Olimpija Ljubljana in a Europa League qualifying match. Hadebe made his Süper Lig debut on 18 August, picking up an assist in a 3–0 win over İstanbul Başakşehir.[19] In November 2019, Hadebe was temporarily prevented from returning to Turkey following the international break due to passport issues, causing him to miss two matches with Yeni Malatyaspor.[20] On 1 March 2020, he was shown a red card for a dangerous foul in a 2–0 loss to Denizlispor. He missed the next three matches due to the subsequent suspension.[19][21] Following his suspension, the season was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with play resuming in June.[21] Hadebe finished the season with 23 appearances and one assist in league play as Yeni Malatyaspor finished 16th in the table.[14] Despite the team's poor season, Hadebe enjoyed a successful campaign, being named to the Süper Lig Team of the Season.[2][22][23]

After missing the first game of the 2020–21 season due to injury, Hadebe made his season debut on 18 September 2020, coming off the bench in a 1–1 draw with Göztepe S.K. in matchweek 2. On 17 April, Hadebe scored his first goal for Yeni Malatyaspor in a 1–0 win against Alanyaspor.[24] He finished the season with two goals and one assist from 30 appearances as they finished 15th in the table.[14] He was named to the Süper Lig Team of the Week five times during the season.[2]

On 12 March 2022, Hadebe made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 win against the Colorado Rapids in matchweek 4.[30] He scored his first goal for the Dynamo on 9 April to help Houston to a 4–3 win over the San Jose Earthquakes.[30] On 9 July, Hadebe scored in the 11th minute of stoppage time to rescue a late draw against Texas Derby rival FC Dallas, the latest non-penalty goal in MLS regular season history.[30][31] Hadebe was named to the MLS Team of the Week following the match.[31] He missed six games in the fall due to a left leg injury.[30][32] Hadebe ended the season with two goals in 27 regular season appearances, four starts, as Houston finished 13th out of 14 in the West, missing out on the playoffs again.[30][33]
