Bendel Insurance, the reigning champions of the 2023 Federation Cup, have made a significant move to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming 2023-2024 season with the signing of Ezekiel Tamara.
The club’s head coach, Monday Odigie, has successfully secured the signing of NPL star Ezekiel Tamara, who was highly sought after by several top Nigerian Premier League (NPL) teams.
This strategic acquisition is expected to fortify Bendel Insurance’s midfield and further enhance their chances of continued success in the league.
Solidifying the Midfield:
Recognizing the need for a formidable midfield presence, Monday Odigie targeted Ezekiel Tamara as the ideal addition to Bendel Insurance.
With his remarkable performances for Kwara United, Tamara emerged as a highly sought-after player in the Nigerian football scene.
His ability to dictate play, contribute both offensively and defensively, and exhibit remarkable vision on the field convinced Coach Odigie that Tamara would be a valuable asset to his team.
Competition for Tamara’s Signature:
Ezekiel Tamara’s impressive performances last season did not go unnoticed, as three other prominent NPL clubs, Enyimba, Rivers United, and Rangers, expressed their interest in securing his services.
However, after careful consideration, Tamara made the final decision to join Bendel Insurance.
The lure of playing under the guidance of Coach Odigie and being part of the club’s rich footballing tradition played a pivotal role in his choice.
A Narrow Escape and Fans’ Support:
Last season, Tamara played a crucial role in helping Kwara United narrowly escape relegation under the leadership of Kabiru Dogo.
Tamara’s contributions and versatility on the field were instrumental in the team’s relegation survival.
Three days ago, while appreciating his journey and the support he received from his fans, the 22-year-old midfielder turned to social media to seek their input in selecting his next team.
He expressed gratitude for having had the opportunity to represent esteemed clubs such as Lobi Stars, Kano Pillars, Kwara United, and Shooting Stars in the past.
Footballerover can confirm that Ezekiel Tamara has officially signed a two-year contract with Bendel Insurance.
The young midfielder has committed his future to the club, intending to make a significant impact in the forthcoming seasons.
