The management of Rangers International F.C has
completed the signing of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) leading
goal scorer Israel Abia and Ifeanyi Nweke in a bid to challenge for silverware
this season, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.
Abia switched to Flying Antelopes from Sunshine
Stars while Nweke, who has been in shiny form for Kano Pillars for the past two
seasons dumped Sai Masu Gida for Rangers.
The club’s General Manager, Davidson Owumi, said the
management signed the two players to use their skills and experiences to help
Rangers in the chase for league honors.

“We are glad
to have Israel and Nweke here with us. Personal terms have been agreed upon
while we have also settled with their former clubs. I am sure that their coming
with that of four others will to a very large extent enhance our push for a top
finish this season,” Owumi stated.
Speaking after putting pen to paper, Abia, who
started his career in the Coal city, said: “I am very happy to be here in
Rangers to contribute my quota towards seeing that we end the season on a
high.”
Nweke, who has been in shiny form for Kano Pillars
for the past two seasons, said he is delighted for the move.
“It is a
thing of joy to be in Enugu to do my best for Rangers and ensure we challenge
for a top finish at the end of the season,” Nweke said.
There are strong indications that both players may
be included in the lineup for the matchday 16 encounter against Abia Warriors
F.C at the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium, Enugu, this weekend.
