The ex-Maritzburg United winger has also identified Dynamos as one of his preferred destinations.
“Life is unpredictable. Today, you may have grand plans to become one of the best soccer players of your generation,” Nyoni told the Chronicle.
“And tomorrow, you find yourself waking up in a hospital, facing the possibility of amputation.
“Life, whether good or bad, simply happens. It reminds me of the story of Job in the Bible.
“Truthfully, I didn’t retire on my own terms, and it continues to bother me to this day,” Nyoni confides.
“I would love to retire on my own terms. My business now runs smoothly without my constant presence, so I feel I can play more freely. I believe I have two or three more years, and then I will call it a day.
“Wherever a team is willing to give me an opportunity to revive my career, that’s where I’ll go.
“Of course, my former teams like Highlanders and CAPS United hold a special place in my heart, so they are my first preferences,” added Nyoni.
Nyoni who is known for his speed and agility, rose to fame at Highlanders in Zimbabwe’s topflight.
The former Cape Umoya player left Highlanders in 2018 to join Caps United in the 2019 season.
