Kaduna Utd sign four players

Nigeria Premier League (NPL) side, Kaduna United, completed the signing of four new players in the ongoing mid-season transfer window on Wednesday.

The club’s spokesman, Abdulrahman Tonga, disclosed to SuperSport.com that the four players include Kingsley Elechi from Niger Tornadoes while the trio of Peter Dogara, Kehinde Oyinlola and Bashir Ayuba were brought in from amateur clubs.

The quartet is said to have been training regularly with the club since the start of this season’s campaign.

“We have signed four players. One of them is Kingsley Elechi, who last played for Niger Tornadoes. The others are Bashir Ayuba, Peter Dogara and Kehinde Oyinlola from amateur clubs.

“The four players have been with the team and have been training regularly with the team. But the coaching crew has decided to give them contracts ahead of the second round of the season as backup for the squad since Kaduna United will play in the league, (Orange Caf) Confederation Cup and the FA Cup,” Tonga offered.

The contract documents and particulars of the four players will be forwarded to the NPL secretariat in Abuja by the management of Kaduna United, according to Tonga.

The club’s image-maker, however, said that the four players might not be the last additions to the Premier League campaigners, as head coach Maurice Cooreman and his backroom staff are still looking at a number of other players undergoing screening at the Kaduna team.
