Coach Tonderai Ndiraya revealed his choice this morning saying Jaure is a figure of influence who will rally the players on the field of play and help connect with the club management and fans.
He will be deputised by Kudzanai Dhemere.
Jaure was born on 8 July 1990 and has risen through the Dynamos FC junior ranks to the senior team, though he had brief stints at lower division sides AMC and LaLiga.
Jaure made his breakthrough into the senior team in 2010 where he would partner either Guthrie Zhokinyi or George Magariro in central defence.
He commanded a regular place in the Dembare senior team for 4 seasons and won 6 trophies including 3 successive league titles.
His strong perfomances attracted the interest of SA side University Of Pretoria who snapped him in 2014.
He made 24 league appearances in both his first and his second seasons with the club, including scoring a goal in November 2014 versus Moroka Swallows.
At the end of his second season with Tuks, the club was relegated via the 2015-16 play-offs and Jaure was subsequently released at the end of the season.
Upon his return from South Africa, Partson Jaure joined Ngezi Platinum Stars Football Club under Tonderai Ndiraya and later on crossed the Zambezi to join Zambian top-flight club Buildcon where he did not last for long after his contract was terminated on mutual agreement.
He came back to Zimbabwe and signed for newly promoted PSL outfit Manica Diamonds where he played last season before retracing his roots to Dembare in the off-season.
Jaure’s debut for Zimbabwe came in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Egypt on 26 March 2013.
He made a total of three appearances in Zimbabwe’s unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign.
In January 2014, coach Ian Gorowa called him into the Zimbabwe squad for the 2014 African Nations Championships (CHAN).
He helped the team to a fourth-place finish after being defeated by Nigeria by a goal to nil.
He made a total of six appearances in the competition.
Ndiraya will certainly have headaches on where to deploy Jaure this season, especially considering the duo of Ghanaian Stephen Appiah and Byron Madzokere seem to have already hit a telepathic understanding in central defence in the preparatory matches played so far.
