Zata said: “A very sad Day leaving the club that I’ve loved & supported all my life but nothing’s meant to last forever. Would like to thank all the players, coaches & parents that have helped me along the way and made it such a memorable experience, wishing all the boys the best of luck.”

But now he is quite happy engaging with Dundee FC as the club have a decent history of developing young players.
Zata has a great chance of developing with the club as The Tangerines are sitting in the fourth position of Scottish Championship.
The Zimbabwean attacking midfielder holds dual nationality as he was born in Alloa and has represented Scotland at Under-16 level.
