Education
King Nadolo learned at Tsinhirano Primary, Tafara High 1, Churchill Boys and Sir Isaac Newton (SA). He grew up in Tafara and played for Tafara Rangers, Dynamos Football Club senior and juniors, Sir Isaac Newton (SAB league- SA), Highlanders Football Club, Witbank Spurs, and TelOne. While Nadolo was at Churchill Boys High, Dynamos Football Club were paying his school fees as part of a scholarship program.[2]
Career
King started playing football in his primary school years when he used to feature for Circle Cement before moving to Tafara Rangers. On the advice of Elvis Chiweshe, Nadolo joined Dynamos Football Club juniors.
After a few years with Dynamos, King was spotted by a scout while playing for a Copa Coca-Cola team in South Africa where they were playing as curtain raisers during a 2010 World Cup game. As a result, Nadolo landed a chance to play for South African Vodacom League, third-tier side FC Alex[2] After failing to break into the top tier, Nadolo's maternal uncle urged him to come for trials at Highlanders Football Club in 2014.
He had been playing for the team before moving to SA and then back to Zimbabwe where he joined 2019 ZPSL new boys TelOne Football Club.[2] Nadolo was on the soccer stars calendar in 2019 but failed to save TelOne from relegation that season. After the 2019 season, he was loaned to Dynamos where he spent three years.
In February 2023, he joined CAPS United Football Club on a one-year loan deal from his parent club, TelOne.[3] Nadolo joined a list of players who have played for all the three biggest teams in the country — Dynamos, Highlanders, and CAPS United.
The other players who have featured for the "Big Three" include Newman Sianchali, Marshall Machazani, Stewart Murisa, Valentine Ndaba, Stephen Alimenda, Rodrick Mutuma and Lovemore Ncube.
