The Urban Warriors have in the meantime completed the signing of Nigerian defender James Okwuosa.
Rusike – who spent the past season at Jomo Cosmos – has been training with Ajax for the past fortnight with a view of signing for the club but has now left after failing to agree terms with the club on his personal terms.
George Comitis, the Ajax CEO says they were keen on Rusike.
"We couldn't agree terms with the player and he has now left. I am sure he has something else elsewhere. He is a good player that we would have wanted to have in our books but we couldn't," says Comitis.
KickOff.com has learnt that the 22 year-old could possibly be now on his way to Chiefs who have been keen on him though he also has another option of linking up with Danish club Aalborg BK.
Rusike will join a local club as a non-foreigner as he holds a South African identity document having been born in the country to a South African mother.
Comitis adds that they are planning to release one of the six foreign players in their books as they are only allowed to register five.
The six foreigners at Ajax are Sander Westerveld, Khama Billiat, Tafadzwa Rusike, Koen van de Laak, George Akpabio and the new signing Okwuosa.
Though Comitis chose not to mention the name of the foreign player to be sacrificed KickOff.com has picked that it is most likely to be Tafadzwa Rusike.
"We need to let one go because we cannot register all six," says Comitis.
Your comments on this story...
This teams' first priority should be looking for a strong defensive middlefielder, someone like Jali (DTC), Maluleke (SSU), Madubanya (Celtic), Kekana (Sundowns)......the list goes on. You wont be succesful without that kind of player. Stop your obsession with attacking players, remember that attack wins you matches but defence wins you championships.

Bucs till Kaizer Junior switches from lemon lite to ponds
Just like Amidu, he will be playing for Leopards come next year without even touching the ball. He is being wanted just coz he is a Zimbo. I mean this cow single handley took Jomo Cosmos to relegation.

I've read many ridiculous comments in here and the above tops the list for today, how can a Striker, any striker be responsible for a team's relegation????

I agree with you 100% black and white. when we released Tenashe i thought sum1 better was coming but boy ws i wrong. The blacklable game bears testimony to that
This cow missed more than 21 clear sitters, 7 more than those of Ncgobo, which could have earned the team +25 points and put them in the top 8, far much from relegation.
Now just imagine him, Ncgobo, Parcow, Jnr, and Nkalakatha in one farm. Kennedy Mwenee is going to defend his record of scoring more goals than the whole Zebra attack combined.
