Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Dele Aiyenugba, is excited to return to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after a successful career in Israel.
Aiyenugba rejoins his childhood club, Kwara United from Israeli side Hapoel Afula ahead of the 2020/2021 season which is expected to start in September/October subject to the Federal Government’s approval due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an interview with Channels Sports, Aiyenugba says he is extremely happy with the reception and attention his return is generating and intends to use the opportunity to develop young goalkeepers at the club and also bring more followership to the league.
“I started from Kwara and want to give back to the state. I think in Nigeria, we have a lot of young goalkeepers and I want to give back to the fans and add colour to the league.
“I’m so happy coming back home and didn’t expect the kind of reception I got from fans; the way people received me coming to Nigeria league, I felt so great,” the goalkeeper stated.
Aiyenugba started his career with Kwara United in 1998 and moved to Enyimba in 2001 where he recorded more success, winning the league title four times in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007.
He was part of the historic squad that won the CAF Champions League back-to-back in 2003 and 2004, as well as the African Super Cup in 2004 and 2005. In 2007, he left Nigeria for Israeli side Bnei Yehuda. (Channels TV)
