Midfielder Kalu Nweke has completed a move to Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Enyimba, opting not to extend his contract with reigning champions Rangers.
Nweke has signed a two-year deal with the Aba-based club, joining his former Rangers teammate and captain, Chukwudi Nwodu, who recently made a similar transfer.
Nweke played a pivotal role in Rangers’ title-winning campaign last season, contributing four goals in 29 appearances.
His arrival at Enyimba is anticipated to strengthen the team’s midfield as they prepare for the 2024/25 NPFL season.
This move is a significant boost for Enyimba, who have been actively reinforcing their squad ahead of the new season. Nweke’s creativity and experience are expected to enhance Enyimba’s title aspirations.
Nweke’s transfer is part of a flurry of activity in the NPFL, with notable moves such as Daniel Barnabas to El-Kanemi Warriors and Ifeanyi Anaemena rejoining Remo Stars.
The NPFL season is set to begin on August 31, with teams gearing up for what promises to be an exciting campaign.
In other news, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has appointed a new captain following Nacho Fernandez’s departure. Meanwhile, former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has disclosed that the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had previously advised him against inviting certain players to the national team.
As the NPFL season approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating thrilling matches and a high level of competition.
The introduction of VAR and improved refereeing standards are expected to elevate the league to new heights.
