Warri Wolves sign four midfielders, five attackers

The management of Warri Wolves has fortified its squad with additional nine players during the ongoing mid-season transfer window, Sportinglens.blogspot.com can reveal. 

According to the club's media manager, Azuka Chiemeka, four midfielders, Alexander Emenike, Duru Stephen Arize from Rangers International, Ifeta Efe from Oghara United and Ojiabor Kingsley Okey from Delta force of Asaba were signed following the exit of Michael Okoyoh, Michael Egbeta, Markson Ojobo, Babatunde Solomon and Bernard Okorowanta.

The Seasiders also recruited Obinna Eleje from Enyimba FC, Udeh Zinte from Go Round FC, Victor Giwa from accurate academy of Ibadan, Uche Cyprian, Delta Force and Uche Chukuwma from Global FC to beef-up Wolves attacking force to replace Okiki Omonefe, Harrison Kelechi, Seth Egejure, Obinna Nwaokolo and goal keeper Paul Godwin.

Speaking about the mid-season changes, the club chairman Neville Bekederemo, said it's a blend of experience and youthfulness. “After the club lost some key players last season, it's been difficult rekindling the wonderful performance put up by Wolves last season and the first half of this season gave us the opportunity to realise that the needful must be done for Wolves to achieve the desired result to succeed this season by patronising the mid season transfer market to build up Wolves with more younger players.

“We are also not ignoring the importance of having experienced players because their wealth of ideas will help the young ones to quickly adapt to the traditional ideology of Wolves."

Some of the new signings made their debut against Kano Pillars in the Match Day 22 encounter at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano on Sunday. The match ended 2-2.
