SuperSport United FC has made a significant move ahead of the new DSTV Premiership season, securing the signature of Nigerian forward, Etiosa Ighodaro.
The 22-year-old sensation has joined the South African club on a long season loan from Mamelodi Sundowns, bringing an injection of youthful energy and goal-scoring ability to the team.
The news was officially confirmed by SuperSport United FC on their Twitter page, where they expressed their enthusiasm for the new addition to their squad.
The club’s tweet reads;
“Matsatsantsa would like to confirm the signature of 22-year-old Nigerian forward Etiosa Ighodaro on a one-year loan from Mamelodi Sundowns. We are excited to have you in the Matsatsantsa family, Eto.”

In response to the announcement, Etiosa Ighodaro expressed his own excitement, stating;
“I’m excited, looking forward to working with the players and technical team as well. Expect hard work from me, and some goals because I have a good team that can support and assist me.”
Fans of SuperSport United can now anticipate an electrifying season with Etiosa determinated to make a huge difference on the pitch.
Having spent the previous season on loan at Chippa United from Sundowns, Ighodaro displayed huge promise and goal-scoring ability by netting an impressive 10 league goals.
This tally placed him just two goals behind the joint-Golden Boot winners, Sundowns’ Peter Shalulile and Khanyisa Mayo of Cape Town City.
Overall, Etiosa Ighodaro found the back of the net 11 times in 27 matches across all competitions, making him a highly sought-after player.
Given his remarkable performances during his loan spell, it is no surprise that SuperSport United FC decided to secure his services.
The move comes at an opportune time, as the club has lost 10 players during the transfer window, either through sales or the end of their loan spells.
Etiosa Ighodaro’s signing marks the sixth addition to the SuperSport United squad, and his arrival promises to bolster their attacking force significantly.
Fans can expect an intense competition as the young Nigerian forward vies for a starting position and strives to make a significant impact on the team’s success in the DSTV Premiership.
With Etiosa Ighodaro’s raw talent and determination combined with SuperSport United’s strong team dynamics, the upcoming season holds great promise for the club.
