Done Deal: South African Club Stellenbosch FC Signs Nigerian Defender

South African club Stellenbosch FC have announced the signing of Nigeria defender Enyinnaya Kazie.

Kazie joined Stellenbosch on a free transfer having run down his contract with Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club Rivers United.

The 25-year-old made over 160 appearances for Rivers United, helping the Port Harcourt club win the NPFL title in the 2021/22 season.

“First of all, I want to thank God for bringing me here after a long wait,” he told the club’s official website.

“I want to contribute positively on the pitch, and I can promise that I will do everything within my reach to ensure that the fans and the coaches are happy.”

Kazie will wear jersey number 16 at his new club. He is in line to make his debut early next month.
