21-year-old Nigerian midfielder Morice Chukwu has completed a surprise move from Singida Fountain Gate to fellow Tanzanian Premier League side Ihefu SC after just five months with his former club.
Chukwu, a promising defensive midfielder known for his “screamer” goals, had flashes of brilliance during his brief stint at Singida.
But why would he leave Singida FC, a club he joined during the summer transfer and committed to a two-year deal with?

Well, footballrover gathered that a recent influx of Arab investment triggered a management shift and transfer spree at the club, prompting Chukwu’s unexpected departure.
Footballrover also understands that Ihefu SC swooped in with a lucrative offer, not only for Chukwu but also for key personnel from Singida’s board.
This strategic move signals Ihefu’s serious intent to make a splash in the league.
Clad in the number 11 jersey, Chukwu joins a team eager to climb the ranks.
His experience and skill, honed during his stellar two-year reign with NPFL champions Rivers United in 2021/22, add invaluable depth to Ihefu’s midfield.
The vastly experienced Ebonyi-born defensive midfielder will be looking to grab a spot immediately in the starting lineup.
All eyes are now on Ihefu SC, as Chukwu’s arrival will surely inject a dose of excitement and stunning long-range goals as the Tanzanian League season continues.
