Biography
Marshall Munetsi
Marshall Munetsi joined Wolves on January transfer window deadline day in 2025, with the midfielder joining on an initial three-and-a-half year deal from French side Reims.
The Zimbabwe international, whose contract includes a further 12-month option, moved to Molineux having played 159 games for Reims, 67 of which came alongside another of Wolves’ signings that January Emmanuel Agbadou.
Capable of playing in a number of midfield roles, Munetsi spent the early part of his career in South Africa, representing Ubuntu Cape Verde, Baroka and Orlando Pirates.
It was while playing for the Pirates in 2018 that Munetsi made his Zimbabwe debut – one of 23 caps to date – and in that same year he helped his country to the COSAFA Cup.
The following season, Munetsi made his move to Europe and developed into a regular starter during the previous three-and-a-half seasons in Ligue 1 with Reims.
Known for providing goals from midfield, Munetsi left France with 21 to his name, hitting double figures for goal involvements across the 2022/23 season.
Munetsi also captained both his club and country at times during the 2024/25 season, leading Reims out against Nantes the weekend before his move to Molineux.

It was during his time spent at Orlando Pirates where Marshall Munetsi would earn the first of his senior caps for Zimbabwe, coming during the 2017/18 season.
The defender earned his first cap later in the October of 2021, replacing Serge Aurier in the final seconds of a 3-0 World Cup qualification win over Malawi. He lined up alongside former Wolves centre-back Willy Boly for the final 45 minutes of a 3-0 defeat to England at Wembley a year later, but has now become a regular in the Ivorian team.
Since March 2024, the centre-back has started all but two of his country’s matches and scored his first international goal in a 4-0 win over Chad in Africa Cup of Nations qualification in November that year.
