Rusike joined the Citizens on the last day of the January transfer window to boost the club’s striking department.
The former Chiefs striker, who made a shock return to the Absa Premiership, missed out on playing in the game against Mamelodi Sundowns last week Friday because City had not obtained his international clearance.
