Philana Tinotenda "Tino" Kadewere (born 5 January 1996) is a Zimbabwean professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Ligue 1 club Nantes and the Zimbabwe national team.

Club career

Zimbabwe

Kadewere was picked by Harare City in 2014 after he had finished playing for his high school team at Prince Edward School. ^[1] During the first half of his debut season with the first team, he scored seven goals in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League. ^[2]

Djurgårdens IF

During the summer of 2015, Kadewere went for trials with Swedish first division club Djurgårdens IF and French Ligue 2 side Sochaux. ^[3] Later he decided to join Djurgårdens IF on loan in August 2015 for the remainder of the season with an option for the club to sign him permanently on a four-year deal at the end of the year. ^[4] He made his Allsvenskan debut on 29 August 2015. ^[2] He later joined Djurgården permanently.

Kadewere scored his first league goal for the club on 25 July 2016. It was a consolation goal in the 94th minute of a 3–1 home loss to GIF Sundsvall having been subbed on in the 85th minute. ^[5]

On 27 May 2018, he scored four goals in a league game against IK Sirius, making him the first Djurgården player since Tommy Berggren in 1978 to score four goals in a single league game. ^[6]

Le Havre

In July 2018, Kadewere joined French Ligue 2 side Le Havre on a four-year contract. ^[7] The transfer fee paid to Djurgården was reported as $2.5 million. ^[8]

Lyon

On 22 January 2020, Kadewere signed with Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais. The deal also saw him stay at Le Havre on loan for the remainder of the 2019–20 season. ^[9]

Kadewere began with the Lyon squad for the 2020–21 season. On 8 November 2020, he scored a brace for Lyon in a 2–1 win over Saint-Étienne. ^[10]

Loan to Mallorca

On 29 August 2022, Kadewere joined Mallorca in Spain on loan with an option-to-buy. ^[11]

Nantes

On 4 January 2024, Kadewere joined fellow Ligue 1 side Nantes on loan with an option-to-buy. ^[12] On 14 May 2024, he was permanently transferred to Nantes after the club avoided relegation. Lyon received no transfer fee, but would retain a 25% sell-on clause. ^[13] On 6 July 2024, Kadewere clarified that his contract with Nantes lasted until 2026, and not 2027 as previously reported. ^[14]

International career

Kadewere represented Zimbabwe at the under-17, under-20 and under-23 youth levels. ^[4] He made his international debut for the senior team in a 2–0 win against the Comoros on 21 June 2015. ^[15]
