Former FC Slutsk striker, Abdullahi Oyedele has revealed the reason he joined the newly promoted Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Remo Stars, saying the club structure enticed him.
Oyedele, who is one of the 13 new players unveiled ahead of the new 2021/2022 NPFL season, said what made him decide to pitch his tent with the Ikenne based team is the way the management handles the structure of the team.
“I have played for foreign clubs and what I saw at Remo Stars convinced me to join the team. Talk about the management, the welfare, state of the stadium just to mention but a few, are what I saw when I was in Moldova and Belarus,” Oyedele said.
On why he left FC Slutsk, the Haruna Babangida Academy product said he finished his contract with the club and he was looking for a better one when Covid-19 pandemic hit the world last year.
“I ended my contract with FC Slutsk and I was about to get another one with a big European club because of my exploit with the Belarusian team when Covid-19 hit the world and because of the traveling restriction, there is no way I can go there to sign.
“Instead of crying over spilt milk or feeling sorry about the whole thing, I started training and to God be the glory, I now have a club with a good management and structure,” he added.
On what to expect when the league started, Oyedele said the teeming fans of Remo Stars should be rest assured that the team with its level of preparation will spring surprise and have a very good outing.
“Remo Stars aim is to finish the league in top level so as to play in the continent next season,” Oyedele said.
Remo Stars will commence the new NPFL season with a clash against Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry Football Club (MFM) on Friday, 17th December 2021 at the Mobalaji Johnson Arena, formerly known as Onikan Stadium.
