Tusker new signing details

Boban’s first club was Vipers, where he arrived in 2006 mid-season during a crisis period. He was signed by Coach Charles Ayiekoh to bolster the team as they fought relegation during Vipers’ maiden season in the top flight league.

He was part of the historical team that survived relegation by a thread following a 4-1 victory over Kampala United in the second last match of the 2006 league before leaving Vipers in 2008.

He joined Dynamos from Highfield F.C. in January 2013. Boban Zirintusa scored on his Dynamos debut as the Harare giants cruised to an easy Champions League preliminary round first leg victory over Lesotho Correctional Services F.C. at Rufaro Stadium. Boban came on as a substitute for Tichaona Mabvura in the 68th minute.

Boban joined Polokwane City F.C. in October 2014 from Dynamos. He was a second-half substitute and netted his first strike on his debut for Polokwane after an assist by Esau Kanyenda in the 47th minute to help Polokwane City stop Bidvest Wits 2–0 in an ABSA League match.

On July 24, 2017, Zirintusa agreed terms with Zambian club Buildcon Football Club and joined them.

In January 2018, Boban joined Ethiopian Coffee Sports Club.

In September 2019, he joined Kirinya–Jinja Senior Secondary School FC. He made his debut against Bul FC.
