SuperSport United striker Evans Rusike has admitted that he still dreams of playing in Europe.

The 27-year-old Rusike joined the Pretoria-based side from Maritzburg United in January as a replacement for Jeremy Brockie.

The Zimbabwe international was not aiming at a specific league or club, but had firmly set his sights on working hard to turn heads overseas. However, things changed in the January transfer window.

“It’s been good [at SuperSport], but it came as a shock. I was expecting a move to happen at the end of the season for me, but I am happy with the move,” Rusike told KickOff, a South African football website.

“My focus going into the current season was to work hard and then wait to see what move will come. I was thinking of Europe.

“Then I heard SuperSport want my services. They are a big team and they have won things. I said I could fit into the team and I decided to join them.”

Rusike has scored once in his two appearances for SuperSport.
