Teenage Hadebe (born 17 September 1995) is a Zimbabwean professional footballer who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club FC Cincinnati. He also plays for the Zimbabwe national team.

Club career

Early career

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

Kaizer Chiefs

In July 2017, Hadebe signed for South African Premier Division side Kaizer Chiefs. He had previously been on trial for Kaizer Chiefs in August 2016. Hadebe missed the first three months of the season after suffering an ankle injury in pre-season. He made his Kaizer Chiefs debut on 22 November 2017 in a 0–0 draw with AmaZulu. 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. He ended the season with one goal in 13 league appearances, helping Kaizer Chiefs finish third in the Premier Division.

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. He made 13 appearances during league play as Amakhosi finished ninth in the table. 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.

Yeni Malatyaspor

On 14 July 2019, Hadebe was sold to Turkish Süper Lig side Yeni Malatyaspor for an undisclosed fee. 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. 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. 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. Following his suspension, the season was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with play resuming in June. Hadebe finished the season with 23 appearances and one assist in league play as Yeni Malatyaspor finished 16th in the table. Despite the team's poor season, Hadebe enjoyed a successful campaign, being named to the Süper Lig Team of the Season.

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. He finished the season with two goals and one assist from 30 appearances as they finished 15th in the table. He was named to the Süper Lig Team of the Week five times during the season.

Houston Dynamo

On 28 June 2021, Hadebe signed with Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo as a Designated Player. He made his Dynamo debut on 20 July against the Vancouver Whitecaps, starting alongside fellow centerback Tim Parker and keeping a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw. He recorded his first assist on 11 September in a 3–0 win over Austin FC. After starting in 17 consecutive matches, Hadebe missed the final four of the season due to an ankle injury. He ended the season with 17 appearances and one assist, while also being named Dynamo Defender of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. Despite a good season from Hadebe, the Dynamo finished in last place (13th) in the Western Conference, failing to qualify for the playoffs.

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. He scored his first goal for the Dynamo on 9 April to help Houston to a 4–3 win over the San Jose Earthquakes. 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. Hadebe was named to the MLS Team of the Week following the match. He missed six games in the fall due to a left leg injury. 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.

Konyaspor
