Nigeria Premier League giants Enyimba FC have once again strengthened their squad for the upcoming 2024/2025 season with the signing of an experienced midfielder, Kalu Nweke.
The 29-year-old central midfielder joins the nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions from Enugu Rangers after putting pen to paper on a two-year deal that runs until 2026, Footballrover reports.
Nweke, who previously captained Abia Warriors, brings a wealth of experience to the Aba-based club.
He kicked off his NPFL career with Kwara United before joining Abia Warriors in September 2021.
After his two-year contract with the Umuahia Warriors expired in August 2023, he signed a free-agent deal with Enugu Rangers.
Known for his energetic presence in midfield, Nweke is expected to add depth and competition to Enyimba’s squad as they challenge for both domestic and continental glory.
This signing is a significant boost for Enyimba, particularly as they aim to make a strong display in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Nweke’s experience in the NPFL, having played over 120 games and contributing 13 goals (8 goals and 5 assists), will be invaluable to the team’s success.
Nweke Eager for New Challenge:
While Nweke’s move might raise eyebrows considering Enugu Rangers qualified for the CAF Champions League, sources suggest the midfielder sought a new challenge and the opportunity to compete for more silverware with Enyimba.
Enyimba fans will surely be excited to see Nweke in action as he joins a star-studded midfield.
