Rivers United Bolster Defense with Sholumade Boluwaji’s Signing

In a strategic move to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, Rivers United have signed talented former Nigeria U20 defender, Sholumade Boluwaji, on a one-season loan deal. The defender joins The Pride of Rivers after agreeing to personal terms, marking a significant coup for the Port Harcourt-based club.

Boluwaji’s return to Rivers United is a notable one, as he previously signed a six-month loan deal with the club during the mid-season transfer window last year. During his brief stint, he made an indelible mark, scoring twice and playing a pivotal role in helping the team secure a coveted continental ticket. His impressive performances earned him plaudits from fans and pundits alike, and his return is expected to bolster Rivers United’s defensive capabilities.

This signing is a testament to Rivers United’s commitment to building a strong and competitive squad, and Boluwaji’s experience and skills will undoubtedly be invaluable assets to the team. With the new Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season set to kick off on August 22nd, as announced by the league’s Chairman, Honorable Gbenga Elegbeleye, Rivers United is gearing up for a strong campaign.

With Boluwaji’s addition, Rivers United looks to build on last season’s success and make a deep run in the upcoming campaign. The team’s fans are eagerly anticipating the new season, and with players like Boluwaji in their ranks, they have every reason to be optimistic about the team’s prospects. As the team prepares to take on the best of Nigerian football, the signing of Boluwaji is a significant boost to their title aspirations.
