Kwara United have reinforced their squad with five new players as the second stanza of the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season kicks off. The additions are aimed at improving the team's overall performance and boosting their chances of securing a strong finish.
The new signings include:
- Omotayo Yusuf (Midfielder) – Expected to add creativity and stability in midfield.
- Ozor Philip (Midfielder) – Another midfield reinforcement to enhance ball control and distribution.
- Abiodun Adebayo (Centre Back) – Brought in to strengthen the defense.
- Wasiu Jimoh (Forward) – Signed to improve the team’s attacking threat.
- Ojifinni Abdullahi (Forward) – Another attacking option to boost the squad’s goal-scoring ability.
These players have already begun training with their new teammates, with some making early appearances in recent matches. Their arrival is seen as a strategic move to address key areas that needed improvement from the first half of the season.
Speaking on the new additions, Kwara United’s General Manager, Mallam Bashir Badawiy, assured fans that the signings would positively impact the team. He emphasized that the club remains committed to strengthening the squad for better performances.
"Our new signings have blended in well with their teammates. They are already adapting to the system, and I believe they will contribute positively to the team without delay," Badawiy stated.
Kwara United currently sit in 12th place on the NPFL table with 26 points from 20 matches. The club’s management identified weaknesses in both attack and defense, prompting the latest reinforcements to ensure a more competitive squad.
Wasiu Jimoh and Ojifinni Abdullahi’s arrival is expected to address the team's goal-scoring struggles. Meanwhile, Abiodun Adebayo’s presence in defense should provide more solidity at the back as the team looks to concede fewer goals in the second half of the season.
With the NPFL becoming increasingly competitive, Kwara United’s management is confident that these signings will provide the necessary depth to compete against the league’s top teams. The club has also reiterated its commitment to supporting the coaching staff with all necessary resources.
Kwara United will be in action this evening as they take on El-Kanemi Warriors at 5:30 PM at the Rashidi Yekini Main Bowl of the George Innih Stadium, Ilorin. Fans will be eager to see how the new signings perform as the team aims for an improved second half of the season.
