The 34-year-old marksman enjoyed a successful return to Poland early this year, scoring 16 goals at third division side LZS Piotrówka, prompting interest from other second tier clubs in Poland.

According to reports, the bustling striker has been invited for a trial stint at GKS Bełchatów together with compatriot Dzikamai “Andre” Gwaze.

Gwaze, who earned his only Warriors cap in a friendly against Uganda early this year, also spent the last season at LZS Piotrówka after his contract with Polish top flight side Górnik Zabrze expired two seasons ago.

However, it is the remarkable comeback of Chinyama which comes as a surprise as his career looked over following a fall-out with Portuguese coach Paulo Jorge Silva at Dynamos early this year.

Silva excluded Chinyama from his squad for the 2016 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League campaign claiming the veteran striker was injured, a fact disputed by Chinyama.

This prompted Chinyama to retrace his roots to Poland, where he is highly regarded after successful spells at Groclin Grodzisk and Legia Warsaw between 2007 and 2011.

Chinyama became the first non-European top goalscorer in the first Polish division (Ekstraklasa) in 2009 when he banged in 19 goals, earning himself cult hero status at the 11-time Polish champions.
