ABS sign another young player, Mubaraq Gata

Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Ilorin FC, has concluded the signing of another teenage sensation Mubaraq Gata. The 14-year old Gata is a younger brother to Ismaila Gata of Enyimba FC of Aba and Adeshina Gata of the Saraki Boys.

The left footed youngster visited the club secretariat on Friday in Ilorin and was presented with the team's official kits.

"I am delighted to join ABS because if you are young and want to develop your career, this where you need to be. I like this team and I want to be one of the best through this club. I will work hard to get merit a place in the main team sooner than expected by God grace. I am looking forward to joining my teammates soon," Gata said.

Speaking on the new Saraki Boys' signing, the Director of Football, Alloy Chukwuemeka, said the team has been monitoring the youngster for sometime and that he is delighted to have completed formalities.

He said Gata will start training with the U-15 team from next week, so he can begin to integrate into the club's system.

"Don't forget that the policy of the club is to promote the youth through football and give them opportunity to play at the highest level. We are happy to have the new Gata, who I believe is more prolific than the two Gatas we used to know" Chukwuemeka said.
