Nwagua targets double with Kano Pillars

By Daily Sports on November 10, 2017

Nyima Nwagua has told npfl.ng that he has that feeling of inspiring optimism that his club Kano Pillars can throw their hat in the ring for the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and the AITEO Cup titles in the coming season.

The striker joined Kano Pillars in the mid-season transfer window of last season from another NPFL side Lobi Stars and at that time, the former league champions finished in 14th place with 24 points, 11 behind leaders Plateau United, after 19 matches.

By the time, the season came to a halt, Pillars could only manage an eighth position finish with 54 points, 12 less than eventual champions Plateau United. An outing that is underwhelming considering the standard and performance of the club in the league in recent years.

Nwagua has now made it clear that their target for the coming season will be to compete for the league and Cup double.

"The double is our target," said Nwagua to npfl.ng.

"I am hungry (for trophies) which is the most important thing in the career of any footballer.

"It is going to be my first time starting a season with Kano Pillars and I am optimistic that we can do better this time. Also, I know that much is expected from me and my teammates. So we have been working hard to kickstart with a better form."

"The most important thing is to help the club win games, and when we can win games we increase our chances of winning trophies. So a trophy, or even two, will not be bad for us next season," Nwagua rounded off.
