Career

Club

In 2013, Nekati joined F.C. Platinum, spending five years there but not failing to register consistent minutes, prompting a move to ZPC Kariba. Following the expiry of his contract with ZPC Kariba, Nekati was set to join South African club Cape Town City, but contract length disagreements halted the transfer. As a result, he remained in Zimbabwe, signing for Chicken Inn.

International

Nekati made his senior international debut on 4 August 2019 in a 3–1 victory over Mauritius during 2020 African Nations Championship qualification. For the 2020 African Nations Championship, Nekati was named as Zimbabwe's captain.
