Sodiq Ibrahim is set to extend his contract with Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Shooting Stars following an impressive debut season with the Oluyole Warriors.
The former Sunshine Stars forward made a significant impact during his brief stint with the club, netting six goals to finish as Shooting Stars' top scorer last season.
Ibrahim's Impact and Future Role
Ibrahim's goal-scoring prowess has made him a valuable asset for coach Gbenga Ogunbote's side. Sources close to the club indicate that he is expected to play a pivotal role in the team's campaign for the upcoming season.
The Oluyole Warriors are actively looking to strengthen their squad following what many considered a disappointing outing last term. Securing Ibrahim's services represents a significant step in their rebuilding process.
Shooting Stars' Ambitions
The Ibadan-based club has shown clear intent to improve their standing in the NPFL with this move. By retaining their top scorer, they've signaled their ambition to compete at a higher level in the coming season.
This development comes amid several changes in the NPFL coaching landscape, with recent reports indicating that Usman Abdallah has parted ways with Kano Pillars, while Kano Pillars are reportedly in talks with Ogunbote for their vacant technical adviser position.
The upcoming NPFL season promises to be competitive, with several clubs making strategic moves in the transfer market to strengthen their squads.
