Chidebere Nwobodo has made a triumphant return to Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Rangers International FC, signing a two-year contract after a brief spell with Rwandan club APR FC in Kigali.
The midfielder, who was instrumental in Rangers' NPFL title victory in 2024, expressed that his return was fueled by his ambition to achieve further success with the Flying Antelopes.
"My coming back to Rangers is because I want to win trophy again with the club," Nwobodo told Rangers media. "I'm a leader, and I believe my leadership quality will help the team."
Nwobodo's return comes at a strategic time for Rangers as they prepare for the upcoming 2025-26 NPFL season. His experience and leadership qualities are expected to bolster the team's performance as they aim to defend their title.
The midfielder's decision to rejoin Rangers highlights the growing trend of Nigerian players returning to the domestic league after stints abroad, potentially enhancing the competitiveness and quality of the NPFL.
Rangers' management has expressed confidence in Nwobodo's ability to make an immediate impact, given his familiarity with the club's philosophy and his previous success with the team.
The Flying Antelopes will be looking to leverage Nwobodo's experience as they prepare for both domestic competitions and potential continental challenges in the upcoming season.
